Only if you use the development version of Torbutton (i.e. versions
1.1.x). The current stable version (1.0.4) does not provide with any
functionality for securing javascript, cookies etc. so with the old
version you _should_ use NoScript, CS Lite and RefControl.

If you have used the development version of Torubtton there can indeed
have been conflicts and stuff went wrong, possibly without you noticing.
As per the FAQ at https://torbutton.torproject.org/dev/ it is not
recommended to use Torbutton in conjunction with NoScript. RefControl
should be cool, but I don't know about CS Lite.

FoxyProxy and Torbutton doesn't make much sense combining IMHO. And as
per the warning in the FAQ, one has to be very careful when using
FoxyProxy with Tor. Personally I only use it for protection against mass
surveillance systems, google etc. for casual browsing. If I ever do
something important where I want more security, I disable the FoxyProxy
filters and switch to all Tor, no scripts and no cookies and so on.
