Re: Yellow alert bar gone; can't access "Recently Blocked"

There are lots of other ways to access NoScript's menu:

• Hover/click on the NoScript icon, which may be either on the navigation bar or the addon bar (press Ctrl+/ to toggle addon bar). You should also be able to right-click on one of those toolbars and select Customize to put the NoScript button wherever you like.
• Right-click anywhere on the page (or press Shift+F10) to access NoScript on the context menu.
• Go to Tools-Addons-Extensions and select NoScript Preferences, then choose the Whitelist tab, to add sites manually.

As ALbino mentioned, you should be able to turn the yellow bar on from the Options - Notifications tab. If that doesn't work, please let us know.
