Tabs broken on FireFox?

Giorgio Maone is my new hero. After the members of the forum reporting bugs for NoScript diagnosed the problem to be a bug in Google Toolbar beta 5, he personally sent me an email pointing me to the fix. Once again, I reach into my nearly empty pockets to support a good free open source project where the developer expects nothing from his users.

When I upgraded to the newest version of NoScript this morning I encountered the most frustrating symptoms. The Google search bar in the upper right was only searching in the first tab, and the address bar at the top was only connected to the first tab as well, regardless of the number of tabs open or which was currently active. This is a serious browser-stupifying bug, and sure enough, when I disabled NoScript 1.8.7, the problems went away. Apparently the bug is a conflict between Google Toolbar and NoScript 1.8.7. Hopefully it will be resolved soon, I do like NoScript and I am sorry that I have to disable it.
