I never tried it that way, because I couldn't find where to disable it and I had no time to do research when this issue happened. Just for fun I tried to find where it can be disabled for Firefox 24.0 right now, but I couldn't find it ;). https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/javascript-settings-for-interactive-web-pages I've got Ghostery installed, I'm using Ghostery to detect trackers, but I can't find how to use it to disable scripts. IOW disabling javascript is much more work, assumed you won't install many add-ons. I'm only using 2 add-ons, Ghostery and Anonymox. My Firefox ERS 17.0.9 (Vidalia/TOR) provides to disable javascript by Edit > Preferences > Content, but I usually don't use the TOR browser or outdated versions of Firefox. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
