Another sleazy thing... The NoScript site calls the code "open source" and "Free Software" (complete with a link to the FSF), but nowhere on the site can I find the source code. I searched GitHub and didn't find any source code from the NoScript author there either. As far as I can tell, the only way to get the source code is to actually install the extension and then extract the code from there. It appears that GitHub user 'avian2' did exactly that: https://github.com/avian2/noscript https://github.com/avian2/noscript Thanks avian2! And no thanks to the NoScript author.

An XPI is just a zip file. You can download it without installing it. Not as convenient as a github repo, but equally open source.

  Ah, thank you. In that case, I stand corrected!

  Yeah we should not forget that Firefox extensions became popular because most of the UI was made out of XML and JS.
