#30567: No way to configure NoScript per tabulator in TorBrowser 8.5

There is no way to re-enable the NoScript menu so that JavaScript could be
enabled per tabulator. At least in the Linux version.
The design document about the new menu bar mentions, that it should be
possible for the user to re-enable the NoScript icon manually, but it is
not.
The NoScript configuration is only accessible via the AddOns Noscipt
Preferences, but
(1) all changes there effect the whole session including reloading all
tabs - which is a security risk if you do not inspect all tabs before
doing so
(2) in the Appearance tab there, it is only possible to enable the
NoScript context menu, which seems to be blocked in Tor Browser. No option
to get the menu button back.
Without safe way to enable JavaScript for a single tabulator, TorBrowser
8.5.x is not safe. At least I will fall back to 8.0.9 until this has been
fixed.
