Why does the NoScripts icon keep moving around?
I'm running Firefox 29.0 on an XP OS. Ever since I upgraded to vers. 29 and reloaded all my add-ons, including NoScripts, I've noticed the NoScripts icon keeps moving around the toolbar. It seems to happen whenever I open Firefox. Most of the time the icon is located to the right of the search field. But other times it will be on the left of the search field. Any time things move around without my telling them to, I get suspicious. Anyone know why this happens and how to stop it?

You can check for problems with preferences.
Delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.
Note that your System Details list shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize prefs each time Firefox starts.
The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be there. You can check its content with a plain text editor (right-click: Open with) if you didn't create this file yourself.
The user.js file is read each time Firefox is started and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.
