NoScript won't uninstall / isn't listed as an Extension and getting angry about it, try this, it worked for me

Question

Your reviews of the standard articles by forum junkies that just shoot out links of more engineering pages like this one are resulting in slamming the mouse, pounding the
keyboard and cussing aloud that even your cat probably won't be emerging for a few days, articles such as these that might already be highlited visited and open using Internet
Explorer or Chrome since you're pondering uninstalling firefox.

I'll quickly glean for a moment why you won't uninstall it without difficulty before I explain how to just turn it off but you'll still keep it sort of like dermatological
shingles, you've already had the outbreak and as long as you don't do something risky to reawken, you won't see it again.
You can't remove it from the extensions likely because it was "embedded" in your particular FF install. I'm careful to avoid definitive statements since nothing is definitive in
a 20 year old buggy operating system of Windows and the hoops that decent software like firefox has to jump through just to protect us on MS Windows. This hole NoScript
nightmare might be happening to you on something else like a MaC or anything, it doesn't matter cause my fix is the same, there might be other methods and I hope others
constructively contribute.
Whenever I post this question and discovery elsewhere like Stack or DevGuru, it always gets invaded by the followers, the engineers who almost cultishly question why would
anyone remove or disable NoScript, how dare would anyone do such a thing. These people are missing the point, it has nothing to do with the quality, it has to do with ownership
and they can dismissively write us off to being hacked, whatever, that is our decision to do so regardless of the "elegance of NoScript", the reasons we choose to stop using it
ARE OUR OWN REASONS AND NUNYA BUSINESS.
A FIX:
By now you've probably learned the "about:config" option in FF, in your address bar enter:
about:config
If you don't have the address bar and just use shortcuts, use your Windows kyboard and press Ctrl and the "L" key for which should hopefully start an address bar unless
NoScript disabled it or demands confirmation 1
Press the enter key on your keyboard, or the go, whatever you normally do to press forward to your web site, NoScript might prevent you from opening the config like the HAL9000 stopping Dave Bowman from deactivating him. Just press forward and advise NoScript you wanna keep going.
Scroll down or find
noscript.autoAllow
Notice if it is set True or 1, change it to 0 or False.
Have to restart FF to affect the change, if this solved your version of the problem, please reutrn to say as much, vote it up with an up click, if it didn't work, share as much as you're willing to before you get fed up and slam your fist through the monitor or this computer out of the window of a moving car.
NoScript isn't evil, the author is revered and he creates and maintains it for free, you might be having a hard time removing it because it was embedded with your FireFox install. Somewhere you or someone else decided you needed a specialized version of fireFox such as the ToR version for anonymous web browsing from site operators, maybe someone did it and only told you in passing and you forgot, coulda been they didn't understand what they were installing and failed to adequately explain it.
At this moment, you're feeling proprietary and want more control of your browsing experience.
I know a few ways to uninstall it but it requires software recompiling which is like genetic rengineering if you don't already know software development and you should probably avoid trying to learn it since it obviously ain't your profession. You don't try to learn dentistry just to drill your own cavity.
You can do other things to save your settings and uninstall / reinstall a new version of FF, there are other ways to uninstall NoScript or kneecap it, and we're intereeted in hearing how.

Answer 1

In order to uninstall a possibly unwanted extension, please do the following:
#From the Firefox window click the Firefox button at the top left and select ''Add-ons'', or, if the Firefox button is not shown, click the ''Tools'' menu and click ''Add-ons''.
#Once the Add-on Manager has opened in a new tab, click the ''Extensions'' button on the left side of the window.
#You should now see a list of your installed extensions on the right side together with buttons on the right side of each extension.
#To remove an extension from Firefox, simply click the ''Remove'' button. You should see a message that informs you about the successful removal of the add-on.
#Note that some add-ons require a Firefox restart to be removed completely. To perform a Firefox restart after the add-on removal, click the ''Restart now'' link in the message.
