 Using the latest Tor Browser release 9.0.1, my Tor gateway machine's log
 is full of messages like this:

 >Nov 19 21:27:11.000 [notice] Have tried resolving or connecting to
 address 'sync-messages.invalid' at 3 different places. Giving up.

 I think this started in 9.0, but I am not sure.

 A web search found only that it seems to be an upstream problem in
 NoScript:

 I have not personally verified that NoScript is the culprit. Just
 reporting what I saw so you can track the issue and make sure to get the
 patched version from upstream, if/as necessary.
