 Replying to [comment:1 gk]:


 > : a workaround would be to set
 `extensions.torbutton.resource_and_chrome_uri_fingerprinting` to `true`.

 I'm implementing this in next dev build, out in minutes, and it apparently
 works, with exposure minimized to the quasy-synchronous (local filesystem)
 load/parsing.

 You can preview it by running this code in a browser-scoped Scratchpad
 window with any NoScript 5.1.x installed:

 {
   let xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
   xhr.open("GET", "!chrome://noscript/content/noscriptOverlayFx57.xul");
   try {
     // work around to resolve overlay's XML entities despite the Tor
 Browser

     let TOR_PREF =
 "extensions.torbutton.resource_and_chrome_uri_fingerprinting";
     let torPrefValue = Services.prefs.getBoolPref(TOR_PREF);
     let restorePref = () => Services.prefs.setBoolPref(TOR_PREF,
 torPrefValue);
     for (let e of ["progress", "loadend"]) { // restore as early as
 possible (almost sync)
       xhr.addEventListener(e, restorePref);
     }
     xhr.addEventListener("loadstart", () => {
       Services.prefs.setBoolPref(TOR_PREF, true);
     });

   } catch (e) {
     // no pref value, it doesn't seem to be a Tor Browser :)
   }
   xhr.addEventListener("load", () => {
     alert(xhr.responseXML.getElementById("noscript-tbb"));
   });
  xhr.send()
 }
