I think there is a mis-understanding of how noscript works.

By default it blocks ALL scripts.
Click on the little noscript icon on bottom right corner of firefox to 
whitelist a host.

Once whitelisted - any scripts (with very few exceptions - scripts that 
explicitly look like exploits) served from that host will be allowed.

Most sites serve scripts from numerous different hosts - but usually you 
only have to whitelist the host you are visiting, as most scripts served 
from other hosts are advertisement scripts.

XSS usually involves a script served from another domain called in the 
page you are viewing, so noscript is extremely effective at blocking them.
