TorButton and/or NoScript are not fully set up on first Tor Browser launch: breaks circuits display and security slider

Current set of problems

See #16613-note_8.

Initial problem statement

Hi,

When setting Tor Browser security slide to High in Tails, NoScript icon differs from the one of Tor Browser on another OS in the same condition:

  • In Tails the icon supposedly means: scripts are allowed for the top-level (main) document, but some other active content or script sources imported by this page are not allowed yet. This happens when there are multiple frames, or script elements linking code hosted on 3rd party hosts.
  • In non-Tails the icon means: this means that scripts and plugin contents are blocked for the current site and its subframes. Even if some of the 3rd party script sources imported by the page may be in your whitelist, no code could run because the hosting documents are not enabled.

The NoScript version is slightly different (Tails is 10.2.4, Debian 10.2.5).

So the question are: why is NoScript behavior different? Is the icon consistent with its behavior?

Thanks
