You normally couldn't execute any bookmarklet on a page where scripts are disabled, e.g. by NoScript.
Therefore NoScript provides, as a "courtesy" usability feature, a bookmarklet emulation feature which so far managed to run almost any bookmarklet even on script-disabled pages, by running their code in a sandbox and/or temporarily enabling scripts just for the time of the bookmarklet execution.
The way Firefox handles JavaScript executed in a sandbox or on a page where scripts have been disabled after installing event handlers has changed in Firefox 27, breaking NoScript's bookmarklet emulation mode.
The many threads you could recently see about bookmarklets are caused by this breakage and my attempts to work around it.

Installing latest development build 2.6.8.17rc1 should suffice most of the time, but some bookmarklets may require you to allow at least the page where you want to run them.
