I used to use NoScript, but have switched to uMatrix, meanwhile. uMatrix has lots of pre-configured rules (blocks trackers and known malware sites), but I'm using it in conjunction with uBlock from the same developers. Both are available as "new-style" web-extensions and will continue to work with Firefox 57.
