Comment (by gk):

 This might be related to #23723 but that is unclear right now.

 Repeating my comment:12:ticket:23718 here:
 {{{
 I tested updating Noscript to 5.1.1 both in Tor Browser 7.0.6 and 7.5a5
 and while I saw the same error in the browser console I kept a working
 NoScript and the security slider was not messed up as comment:16 reports
 (and other users, too, on IRC). Thus, we have at least one additional bug
 that is causing this or could that somehow be a result of Tor Browser
 breaking the entity resolution? If so, how can I reproduce this?
 }}}

 I followed the steps in comment:22:ticket:23718 but could not reproduce it
 because a restart is required.

 I wonder if that only happend when updating from a version with the new
 NoScript code to a newer one, like it happened from 5.1.0 to 5.1.1 while
 the problem is not visible when updating from the old code (e.g. 5.0.10)
 to 5.1.1 directly.

 FWIW: it got reported that a restart gives functionality back (although
 the icon seems still to be replaced, now it's showing up on the right side
 next to the hamburger menu).
