The Tails Help Desk told us
(https://redmine.tails.boum.org/code/issues/16762) that two users reported
concerns after seeing in about:addons that NoScript was last updated on
2000-01-01. I can only assume that more users are concerned/confused too
but did not bother reporting it.
I ''guess'' this happens right now because the NoScript icon was recently
hidden, combined with the recent armagadd-on bug that disabled NoScript: I
think these two factors explain why concerned users go double-check in
about:addons whether NoScript is really enabled, and then notice this
weird date. I'm pretty sure that after a few weeks or months, users will
regain their trust in "NoScript is up-to-date and enabled in Tails" and
will stop bothering, which will make this entire ticket moot.
Still, if it's trivial to expose a more correct looking date in the UI,
maybe it's worth the effort?
