Comment (by cyberpunks):

 I agree with cyberphunks in ticket:30388#comment:19

 The right workaround seems to be entering `about:config` in address bar
 and set `javascript.enabled` to `false` instead of setting
 `xpinstall.signatures.required` to `false` as suggested in
 https://blog.torproject.org/noscript-temporarily-disabled-tor-browser

 We should not encourage user to disable security checks when there is a
 problem, especially not when there is an alternative workaround not
 requiring disabling security checks.
