What do you think the appropriate action is when FF57 is released but NoScript compatible with it isn't? Should I just block FF57 update and wait for the angry mob to show up at my door? It sucks, but even I think that geting FF57 out was more important than waiting to get FF57 out together a compatible NoScript version. I'll build an updated package when a new version is released. You're welcome to watch for updates and add karma in bodhi once the update is submitted.
