I've encountered this and mentioned it in a previous bug report.

a new Noscript feature, Application Boundary Enforcer (ABE) takes issue
with our collection of the local host name for the confirm Device Access
page. Turning that feature off solves the issue. No other aspect of
Noscript needs to be removed or turned off to make it work.
