 .onions either. Additionally, the expectation here is that onions over
 http:// on medium level security can actually run JavaScript etc. because
 http:// is secure for .onion domains They should get treated as loaded
 over https://. Could you address those two items for Tor Browser users? (I
 am fine opening a new bug for the latter if you like)

 Seems to work nicely, thanks! FWIW: I can still see the problem mentioned
 in comment:9:ticket:27313 that the NoScript settings show only up every
 other time after updating the NoScript version in the browser. Pasting
 here my STR for convenience:

 Here is what I did
 1) Take a Tor Browser 9.5a1 (​https://www.torproject.org/download/alpha/)
 (I took a sv-SE one).
 2) Open this ticket
 3) Open in a new tab the link to rc15
 4) Install rc11 into Tor Browser
 5) Add the NoScript button to the toolbar
 6) The bug as described is visible: the NoScript menu contents are shown
 only every other click on the icon (otherwise the menu is empty). A
 restart seems to fix that, though.
