Comment (by gk):

 We won't consider this unless we ship an own version of NoScript which is
 currently not planned for the near future. We might even think about
 integrating just the security-settings related feature in the browser
 itself. Not sure yet. Meanwhile it would be helpful to understand why
 those issues only happen in Whonix so far and get some steps to reproduce.

 We deliberately took the NoScript button off the toolbar to make it harder
 for users to shoot themselves into the foot. Not sure what Whonix does but
 you it's highly recommended to do the same.
