Comment (by gk):
After thinking a while about how to mitigate that problem in Tor Browser
while we are waiting for a new NoScript release it seems to me we don't
want to just whitelist that particular tracker. The risk is that a week
after release a different one hits the same bug and we start playing
whack-a-mole. I think we should disable the XSS protection for now until
it can't be used as a DoS tool anymore.
