 A lot of scary stuff spit by the console is unrelated to NoScript
 specifically (may apply to any hybrid / restatless extension) and/or
 cannot be fixed "from the inside" of the add-on: case in point, from the
 browser being unable to delete temporary files or to register chrome
 packages at the right time.

 ... or this, which might happen whenever any WebExtension is uninstalled /
 disabled if there were pending messages.

 This should be fixed ('''in most cases''', at least) by
 [https://noscript.net/getit#devel rc5] (about to become a release) and was
 cosmetic anyway.
