PrefBar has two JavaScript checkboxes. A checkmark enables JavaScript;
clearing a checkmark disables JavaScript. One checkbox is simply named
"JavaScript", which controls total enabling and disabling JavaScript
throughout the entire SeaMonkey process, both windows and tabs. The
other is named "JavaScript (Tab)", which controls enabling and disabling
JavaScript only for the tab currently having focus.
I enabled both, renaming the JavaScript checkbox as Global JavaScript
and renaming JavaScript (Tab) as Local JavaScript. I then created a
PrefBar folder named JavaScript and placed both checkboxes in that folder.
I also entered the following into the user.js file in all of my profiles:
user_pref("javascript.enabled", true);
// in case I forget that I disabled it in a prior session
Since Local JavaScript uses a script instead of a preference variable,
this is sufficient to enable JavaScript both globally and locally when I
terminate and then re-launch SeaMonkey, which also occurs when I switch
profiles.
