First, sorry for my bad english, i'm french.

I had to install an old version of noscript. It's the only one that settles. The version 5.1.8.4

Impossible to install the last version, the 10.1.7.5

Thx for your answer

Firefox 52 can use WebExtension, but at the time Firefox 52 got create the APIs that NoScript requires weren't present. Only Firefox 59 has all the APIs that NoScript requires and thus that version is the minimum version that works with the extension. Each WebExtension has a minimum requirement just like Legacy extensions have.

The latest version of NoScript uses the WebExtensions format, which Firefox 52 ESR is not compatible with, as it uses the old XUL format.
