 Did not have these problems before the recent certificate issue, so I
 believe the fix is not working right.  Pasting a copy of the info so far:



 Got the update.

 This fix is not working correctly. Torbrowser 8.5a12

 Pages are being displayed as if NoScript was turned off, so I'm seeing
 images that NoScript blocked before, they just have a ghost image of
 noscript on top of the image it's supposed to be blocking.

 For a comparison, I went to config and turned off the xpinstall that
 someone earlier recommended, yes i read the warnings, and reloaded the
 page, then it displayed as if NoScript was working correctly and I saw
 ONLY the NoScript image, NOT what it was supposed to be blocking.

 So it's not working right.

 Yahoo screen I should NOT be getting, but I get this with 8.5a12 with
 config set to true. I did NOT get this before these NoScript problems.

 Yahoo page I SHOULD be getting when going to mail.yahoo.com. This is where
 I went directly before the NoScript problems, and where I go directly when
 config is set to false, but NOT when set to true, so this is one example
 of fix being buggy.

 Here's another example:

 When I go to mail.yahoo.com, when NoScript was working correctly, I would
 go straight to the login page. When NoScript is NOT working correctly, I
 get the extra page where you have to click on the link to login.

 Again, the config change corrected this, so the fix does not seem to be
 working right.

 Images attached that show screenshots of where I went Before the NoScript
 problems started and when config is set to false, and the different screen
 I get when config is set to true with updated 8.5a12. This is just one
 example, but I'm seeing other examples across several sites.

 I hope the images attached?

 Do you have a master password set? What is the status of NoScript on
 about:addons? Does it work for you if you start with a fresh 8.5a12?

 No master password.

 So I restarted it. It was working ok with config set to true, but I didn't
 make any changes since having the problems from before. So I restarted and
 opened those same pages several times just to see. It seems to happen
 sometimes. So sometimes when it starts, I will get the ghost image
 background (of the image that should NOT be there) with the NoScript on
 top of it, and mail goes to the wrong page as if NoScript was not working
 right. 1 out of the last 6 start ups produced this result.

 In all instances, config was set to true, and addons showed it was
 enabled. The icons are in the toolbar and show it working. So I'm also
 concerned if https anywhere is working right too.

 Installed a fresh copy, no change, had the same poor result on the third
 time opening it.

 Sounds like a different bug. Could you open a ticket? Does this happen
 with a fresh 8.0.9 as well? What operating system are you on?

 ********

 I'm using Win 7 64bit.  I loaded the 8.0.9 and it gave me the same fail on
 the first try, the items that were blocked before are still showing up
 even though everything says NoScript is working, and I have a ghost image
 over it from NoScript.  So what happened before all this started was I
 would ONLY have the NoScript image, NOT the blocked item.  Now I see the
 item that's supposed to be blocked, plus a transparent partial NS image on
 top of it.  And yahoo is not taking me directly to the login, it gives me
 the extra screen so scripts are running in spite of everything saying
 NoScript should be working.

 Did not have these problems before the certificate problem.

 Same thing, the problem goes away if I set that config mentioned in the
 other ticket to false, then NoScript starts working correctly but as
 others have said, that's not the right way to fix this.

 Reattaching the yahoo screenshots here too.
