Comment (by cypherpunks):

 1 Fresh Windows 7 Virtual Machine
 1 Tor Browser 7.5 downloaded from Tor project
 1 Add-on zip from comment:1

 I installed TB7.5 on Win7.
 Then I opened TB and went to about:add-ons, debug add-on, and load
 "local/manifest.json".
 Open about:add-ons and clicked the test add-on.
 Typed "tor" to the textarea and clicked "Save" button ---> everything
 cleared instantly

 Went to about:add-ons and clicked NoScript's Disable button.
 Clicked the "Options" button of the test add-on.
 Typed "tor" to the textarea and clicked "Save" button ---> Saved


 gk, are you using Linux? This might be a difference.
