Simple-Translate broken with NoScript (Incompatbility on Ubuntu 16.04)

[WPFilmmaker]

As per title, with FF 56 everything was fine, with 59 the button doesn't appear anymore (despite being toggled in the options). I tried to restart FF and simple-translate but without luck. Can someone else confirm this?

Update: Simple-Translate is still dead. I checked the reviews on addons website and one user today reported that it wasn't working. He didn't specfy the OS but I am assuming it was a linux distro.. @sienori do you have a chance to test it on a linux platform?Tank you.

It worked normally on Debian9.x FF59.

@sienori I deleted cookies and cache, restarted FF and nothing changed.

Then I disabled all my addons and Simple-Translate worked again! I started enabling each one after another checking S-T and the culprit is Noscript!

If it is enabled the pop-up doesn't appear. I thought the issue could be that I was blocking certain script, but then I tried on a page where all the scrips were allowed and it didn't work.

So I can confirm that there is (at the least on my system Lubuntu 16.04.3, latest FF) a problem between Noscript 10.1.7.5 and Simple-Translate 1.73

No the question is what exactly Noscript does that breaks S-T :/

I tried to export Noscript settings unfortunately there is nothing useful there, just the websites and their privileges. If you can tell me how I could provide more info, I will be happy to do so.

A little update, I updated FF to 60.0 and the problem persist. Unless I disable Noscropt Simple-Translate won't work. If I enable "Display the context menu" I get the popup with three dots*. Therefore I am assuming the addon is being blocked when it tries to reach google servers by some NoScript function. @sienori Do you think you can look into this?

Noscript 10.1.8.1 and Simple-Translate 1.73, FF 60, Lubuntu 16.04.3

In General NoScript settings on Default tab set 'fetch' option. After that S-T works for me (Firefox 60, OpenSuse 42.3)

@C37H40O9 Thank you it works!
@sienori seems that 'fetch' is about XmlHttpRequest or Fetch APIs, is it normal that S-T doesn't work without them? Is there something that can be done apart from C37H40O9's workaround? (which however affects Noscript protection?)

[sienori]

Thanks for the report!
This add-on uses XmlHttpRequest for translation.
There is no choice but to change Noscript settings.
