Comment (by intrigeri):

 Replying to [comment:11 rustybird]:
 > BTW should this ticket have the AffectsTails keyword?

 Thanks for caring! Tails does not use `TOR_SKIP_LAUNCH=1`. Instead we set
 `TOR_CONFIGURE_ONLY=1` before starting Tor Launcher (as an independent XUL
 application). I've tested on my current build of Tails with Tor Browser
 8.0a10 and:

 * NoScript seems to work just fine
 * I see `JavaScript error: resource://gre/modules/ExtensionCommon.jsm,
 line 456: Error: Could not establish connection. Receiving end does not
 exist.` in the logs.
 * If I raise the security slider to "Safest" then JavaScript is correctly
 disabled.
 * I don't know how to test whether "the communication between Torbutton
 and NoScript" works.

 Let me know if there's any other info I can provide, happy to help :)
