-------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
While preparing the Tor Browser 8 release we ran into a number of issues
with communicating with NoScript and getting the Security Slider to work
(#26520, #27401, #27411). We should implement a better approach for
communictaion. The currently best plan is outlined in
comment:33:ticket:26520:
{{{
If we wanted to be absolutely sure, NoScript could be patched to listen
for a "ping" and reply with a "pong". And then torbutton could repeatedly
send "ping" (say, once a second) until it receives a "pong", and then
proceed by sending the first updateSettings message.
