Comment (by cypherpunks):

 I get that the recommended way is not to interact with !NoScript at all,
 but to use the security settings instead.

 On the other hand, this very use case is covered by offering
 "extensions.torbutton.noscript_persist" in about config and "Override Tor
 Browser's Security Level preset". Leaving those at the default value
 (false and unchecked), indicates, in my opinion at least, that the setting
 will be cleared after closing the session, just like any other custom
 !NoScript setting. That the security shield/settings still claim that I'm
 on the "safest" level, despite being not protected at all, doesn't help
 either.

 Having said that, I'm afraid this ticket is a duplicate of #32333 . I
 can't recreate the "even if you enable restrictions again, it will start
 remembering ruleset of websites you set to TRUSTED." part though. After
 enabling the restrictions again, I'm all good and Tor Browser behaves as
 it's supposed to do.
