Apparently Mozilla Foundation decided that it will be more user-friendly to double-click on 'javascript.enabled' at about:config page :) OT: Curiously, they decided that certain checkbox is 'killing their product': https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=851698 Clearly they've never got into accound an evil JavaScript that renders browser unusable with no simple way to disable it. > 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.
