 I'm using Tor Browser 8.0.1 (based on Mozilla Firefox 60.2.0esr) (64-bit),
 on OSX Yosemite 10.10.5.

 When I open Tor Browser, go to the Add-ons Manager, and then open NoScript
 preferences; the starting configuration under the General Tab is *always*:

 To have *everything* enabled for the "DEFAULT" Preset customization
 (script, object, media, frame, font, webgl, fetch, other).
 To have *everything* enabled for the "TRUSTED" Preset customization.
 To have only media, frame and font enabled for the "UNTRUSTED" Preset
 customization.
 The per-site permissions list is also empty.

 After pressing the 'Reset' button:

 I have frame, fetch and other enabled under "DEFAULT"
 I have everything enabled under "TRUSTED"
 I have nothing enabled under "UNTRUSTED"
 I have a whole bunch of per-site permissions being included.

 Regardless of whether Reset is pressed, or whether I adjust the settings
 myself, whenever Tor Browser is reopened, the same insecure initial
 configuration always reappears.

 Only after permanently disabling the file download warning, I am able to
 export a NoScript configuration, and Import the generated file again after
 startup to return NoScript to my preferred settings. As always, the
 starting configuration after Tor Browser restart is the insecure state
 described above.
