Answer» Source: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=873709 Does this affect people who use NoScript? I don't think so.Quote from: Salmon Trout on June 30, 2013, 06:25:24 AM Does this affect people who use NoScript? As BC says, I can't see that it would, especially as the option will still be there in about:config. Noscript does many things that Firefox does not allow by default, so I doubt this will affect Noscript.Quote from: Calum on June 30, 2013, 10:46:56 AM As BC says, I can't see that it would, especially as the option will still be there in about:config. Noscript does many things that Firefox does not allow by default, so I doubt this will affect Noscript. For me, the issue is sort of the same as one of the commenters. In order to disable Javascript, you will have to use about:config, which requires acknowledging that it's dangerous, and that you know what you are doing, etc. But disabling javascript isn't dangerous at all; in fact, running javascript all the time could be considered more dangerous, and it why we have add-ons like noscript. It just seems like the option should be part of the application itself, rather than hidden away. (it removes the Options->Content "ENABLE Javascript" checkbox entirely, making it impossible to disable without advanced techniques or addons, and I find it hard to really see where they are coming from with this sort of change.It does seem an odd step to take, it's not as if the setting takes up tons of SPACE and moving it from the normal options MENU will streamline the UI or something. I like Noscript better anyway just because it gives much more control and you can enable/disable it for specific domains or sites, as well as control other forms of scripting. Removing the JavaScript option just seems very bizarre. |
