 Now it seems to fire too late - on first site load (not including
 about:tor). If that first loaded site contains JavaScript, it will be
 disabled there. Tested on e.g. https://enable-javascript.com

 I tried with a line `log(5, "XXX sending");` added inside the
 `sendNoScriptSettings` function and noticed that both the first site load
 and moving the slider resulted in //multiple// messages to NoScript - not
 sure if that's a problem. (Slightly related, `noscript-control.js` has a
 guard against the `initialized` variable, but it's never set to `true`.)

 `log(e.message);` -> `log(5, e.message);`
