NoScript

Erinn, I'm not sure what you meant there. Did you mean that NoScript
disables the majority of Firefox options? Or that the majority of NoScript
options is disabled in this version of the bundle?
Not sure what was meant, but would it make * any * sense to include
NoScript & then disable most functionality of it?

FWIW, I'd like to recommend also using QuickJava, which allows toggling

Huh? It's early in AM, but which are you advocating - or both?
If scripts are disabled in NoScript, then clicking on
the QuickJava buttons has no effect.
Others can weigh in on this: In past, I've had conflicts running
QuickJava & Torbutton. One prob was once toggled Torbutton off, & shut
down Tor, QuickJava didn't properly toggle plugins unless restarted
Firefox - * at minimum. * Been a while, but may have had to uninstall /
reinstall QuickJava to restore functions. Plan on trying it again.
I, for one, *never* want Java enabled
for anything, but in a very few cases, I do allow JavaScript to run.
How do you get pages to work correctly - such as clicking links to d/l
files, if only allow JS on "very few" pages? Seems to me, more trusted
sites than not require some JS to use the sites. I'm curious, since you
said "very few," not "on trusted sites."
Okay. You might want to look through all the stuff on the NoScript
web pages to get a better understanding of the extensive list of pretty awful
leakages and attacks that NoScript can block.
Back to QuickJava & NoScript: Aren't they overlapping - possibly
conflicts of using both?
