Comment (by gk):

 Replying to [comment:10 ma1]:
 > Just released [https://noscript.net/getit#devel rc2], which should
 partially fix this: preference overrides by Tor Browser (or any .js file
 in $PROFD/preferences/, for the matter) are honored now, per !comment:4.
 >
 > I'm not sure this suffices, since some of the stuff showing up in the
 console seems (e.g. in !comment:7) due to the Tor customization machinery
 not expecting NoScript to be updated / disabled / re-enabled on the fly,
 and therefore references to objects from the previous instance becoming
 invalid.

 I see. I think if it's just that single issue that is still unsolved
 that's okay for now and we can try to fix that on our side. But it seems
 there still remain more things that are worrisome, see comment:11. For
 instance, we don't have ABE enabled and it seems there should not be any
 errors in the console regarding it. Furthermore, the icon should not jump
 to the right either I think. AFAICT that's not due to any interfering
 Torbutton/Tor Browser code and I was able to reproduce that in a clean
 Firefox 52ESR as well as outlined in comment:4.

 (Note: I have not tested rc2 yet but just assumed that the issues the
 cypherpunk mentioned in comment:11 are indeed showing up when updating to
 rc2)
