Disabling javascript in firefox 23

I saw my friend's Firefox beta which did not had any option to disable JavaScript . is it some where else or the option is removed ?
If it is removed i should look for alternative browser until it comes to stable version of Firefox and leave Firefox for ever.

Third party programs are a very poor method for something so simple. Now you have to worry about the third party program continuing to work, and whether you can trust an extra party (as I mentioned, even NoScript has done untrustworthy things before).
About:config is also a very poor method. It takes longer and is more annoying to use. You can't explain it to family members (since you don't want them messing with it). There have been times javascript was causing problems with a website and I could explain how to turn javascript back on when they were done with it. For that matter, I don't even want to be using it all the time since when I'm tired I might double click and change something accidentally (the option is mixed in right in the middle of tons of other stuff).
For such an important and simple function, these are ridiculously bad methods. I'm in shock Firefox has gone down this dark path.

How can I disable javascript in Firefox 30 for all users on my Solaris 10 x86 box?

I have a Solaris 10 box in a secure environment (no Internet) with Firefox 30 installed. I need to lock javascript in a disabled state for all users. I realize each individual user can toggle javascript with about:config, but that is only a per/user activity. I want to set the value of javascript.enabled to false for all users. Additionally, no user should be able to modify this setting.
Is there a location with a config or prefs file that will affect all users?

My sites have been hacked and hostgator has told me to "Disable javascript - Use the firefox addon noscript" and I don't know how to. Are all updates always sent to me as that was another point made to prevent hackers? Thanks you. David. in English

What are malicious scripts and what causes them? Over the years hackers found it hard to trick people into visiting suspicious sites so they're now targeting legit sites and using them to infect unknowing customers. In most cases an FTP account's password is obtained through key logging malware, then legit website files are modified to distribute the malware and gather more passwords. If your PC has been infected with one of these trojans, your bank account, email accounts, and FTP accounts may no longer be secure. * What to do if you find malicious scripts 1. Use the following online vulnerability scanner and ensure your software is up-to-date: http://secunia.com/vulnerability_scanning/online/?task=load 2. Download antivirus and fully scan your PC for malicious files. Here are some free online scanners: http://housecall.trendmicro.com/ http://www.bitdefender.com/scan8/ie.html http://www.kaspersky.com/virusscanner http://support.f-secure.com/enu/home/ols.shtml 3. Update all passwords that may have been obtained. Do not use old passwords, generate new ones. 4. Upload older versions of the files or contact support for assistance removing the malicious scripts. * Prevention - Ensure you use the latest browser version - Disable javascript - Use the firefox addon noscript - Download and install some free antivirus software, make sure it stays updated - Use http://www.avg.com.au/index.cfm?section=avg&action=onlinescan to test suspicious links you are given in emails or find online.

Thank you.
I also had tried other means of getting answers and got an even more specific answer on just how to do this. Below is the link to the actual knowledgebase article giving specific instructions since there are some files that need to be on the Palm and some on the card, etc.
http://support.laridian.com/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=380&ratingconfirm=...
I emailed Zondervan to see if they might be able to direct me to a downloadable manual. The referred me to laridan.com who now supports their software.
I followed the instructions, taking into account some things that were already where they needed to be, hot synced it and it seems to be working fine with 7.8 M free space on my Palm which I trust is enough for my other very large applications.
Thanks for your help!

Why can't we simply have an option to enable/disable Javascript on sites again in the settings for Firefox 27? Suddenly my Gmail attachments won't open. Gmail.

Suddenly my Gmail attachments have stopped opening, and I receive the message: JavaScript must be enabled in order for you to use Gmail in standard view. However, it seems JavaScript is either disabled or not supported by your browser. To use standard view, enable JavaScript by changing your browser options, then try again.
I found a Mozilla support thread where it was explained that Javascript has been turned off for a while in FF. OK. Then there was a complicated answer about how you could still turn it back on by typing in a config code into the address bar. What? Or, you could download an extension to do that for you. Why?
Please-- if you really feel like users can't be trusted, and Javascript must be turned off, at least bring back the ability to enable/disable Javascript on a per site basis in options, without having to know code. It's Gmail.
Thank you.

There is nothing on that thread that says Javascript is turned off by default. to quote:
"In Firefox 23, as part of an effort to simplify the Firefox options set and protect users from unintentially damaging their Firefox, the option to disable JavaScript was removed from the Firefox Options window.
However, the option to disable JavaScript was not removed from Firefox entirely. You can still access it from about:config or by installing an add-on. "
The UI checkbox to disable Javascript was removed, but the option still exists in about:config (which isn't code btw, it's just preferences), nor was Javascript turned off by default, in fact the opposite is true, it is enabled by default with the option to disable it made a little more difficult to find, as only advanced users need to disable Javascript.
Please try to clear the cache and cookies for gmail, let's see if those are causing problems. [[Delete cookies to remove the information websites have stored on your computer]], [[How to clear the Firefox cache]]

Javascript causes Firefox to not respond for a few minutes.

I have a website form with a large amount of dynamically generated javascript that uses jQuery to handle events. When clicking on radio buttons in the form Firefox 26 will get part way through then stop responding for around two minutes while showing (Not Responding) in the title. If I go into about:config and disable javascript.options.baselinejit.content the form works fine, if I enable that option FireFox becomes unresponsive part way through the form. This started recently but I don't know exactly which version is started on, Firefox 26 definitely has the issue for me. All extensions and plugins have been disabled and "Use hardware acceleration when available" is not selected. Also the form works correctly in Chrome 31, Internet Explorer 7, 8, 9, and 10.

Hi keviga, would you be inclined to file a new bug for this? You can reference the Baseline JavaScript compiler as the problem. I guess the tricky part is figuring out what is going on in your scripts that is triggering the issue.

How do I disable javascript in FF 23? It's no longer under 'content'

I consider it a security issue that I no longer have the ability top turn off java/javascript and what not. Is there no way to enable this? This is a terrible decision, if it was a decision. People should be able to control how they interact with the web, not the browser vendor. For a browser/organization that promotes freedom for the web, this is basic functionality for that freedom. Any solution would be helpful and please don't point me at some ugly plugin.

I agree with that Mozilla seems to be taking away prefs, but not that they want to lock your browser, also Note that turning off Javascript has little benefit (it isnt very insecure and cant really take control of the system), you can still disable Java (not Javascript) from the addon manager Firefox Button/Tools => Addons.
DO NOT MIX JAVA AND JAVASCRIPT, they are VERY SEPERATE, to avoid confusion read http://kb.mozillazine.org/JavaScript_is_not_Java 
"''JavaScript is a completely separate technology from Java. Java was the "in thing" back in the days when Brendan Eich at Netscape created a programming language that was originally going to be called LiveScript, so unfortunately they decided to rename it from LiveScript to JavaScript in the hope of catching the media’s interest. A JavaScript script is usually a small series of commands that are often embedded in a webpage to do things like create fly-out menus, invoke pop-up windows, and validate form data. Support for JavaScript is built into all XUL-based applications such as Firefox, Thunderbird and Mozilla Suite. (Note that JavaScript is actually a complete programming language, and it is one of the languages in which Mozilla products are written.) Java is a programming language used to create stand-alone software applications (including games). Java programs can also be embedded in webpages, in which case they are called ‘applets’. Java applications and applets require additional software (the Java Runtime Environment) to be installed on your system. For more information about running these technologies in your Mozilla product you should consult the JavaScript and Java articles.''"
In Firefox 23, as part of an effort to simplify the Firefox options set and protect users from unintentially damaging their Firefox, the option to disable JavaScript was removed from the Firefox Options window.
However, the option to disable JavaScript was not removed from Firefox entirely. You can still access it from about:config or by installing an add-on.
'''about:config'''
# In the address bar, type "about:config" (with no quotes), and press Enter.
# Click "I'll be careful, I promise"
# In the search bar, search for "javascript.enabled" (with no quotes).
# Right click the result named "javascript.enabled" and click "Toggle". JavaScript is now disabled.
To Re-enable JavaScript, repeat these steps.
'''Add-ons'''
You can alternatively install an add-on that lets you disable JavaScript, such as
*[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/noscript/ No-Script] (to disable JavaScript on a per page basis, as required)
*[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/quickjava/ QuickJava] (to easily disable and enable JavaScript, automatic loading of images, and other content)
*[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/settingsanity/ SettingSanity] (adds back removed options for JavaScript, Advanced JavaScript Settings, loading images, and showing the Tab Bar)

Alternative to enable/disable javascript ?

I am looking all the time into Firefox options but there is no option into the menu to disable or enable javascript. Is there any alternative solution or only "about:config" trick (which is very uncomfortable)...

The check boxes to enable/disable JavaScript and load images automatically have been removed from "Options > Content".

Some extensions that you can look at:
*SettingSanity: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/settingsanity/
*QuickJava: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/quickjava/
The PrefBar extension also comes with a button to toggle JavaScript globally and only for the current tab.

Disable Javascript on Mac 10.6.8

I read that the solution to disable Javascript in mac is to go to preferences / content / disable Javascript checkbox BUT there is not checkbox for disable Javascript there... I have a mac 10.6.8 What can I do? Thanx

Thank you for the reply, yes, I think I maybe made a mistake and downloaded a similar program (?) ... the logo is an "S" inside a round shape. It seams that Javascript has a different logo. The problem is that appeared a yellow stripe on the bottom of the firefox window and I have to allow new pages very often now.. I don't need it and I can't find a way to delete it. There is nothing similar in the applications file and I'm not an expert..

Hello mjswooosh,
I'm very disheartened to hear that you've had ongoing problems when attempting to order from BestBuy.com. Our goal is ever to provide a fun and efficient shopping environment! Certainly creating aggravation serves neither you nor us and I apologize sincerely for this having been your experience.

Afterward, before signing in to BestBuy.com, add your desired items to your cart and sign in as part of the checkout process. When the standard steps have not netted a resolution for me, this has solved the problem each time.

When will the 'disable javascript' button return?

The disable javascript button was in firefox 22.
It was disabled in 23, and still in 24. I am part or the user community who wants it back! I read on previous question/threads about it being disabled and not returning. :-(
Really sad :-( !!!!
It was simple and it worked.
Why do you deprive the community of a liked security feature?

Background information about why that pref was removed from options. 
http://limi.net/checkboxes-that-kill/
Just install an add-on or work through about:config to switch it on and off.

After installing Firefox6 many sites will not finish loading. I click on "stop loading this page" and then click on "reload this page" and the page loads. Also if I disable javascript the page will load.

After installing Firefox 6 MANY web site will not finish loading. I disabled all add-ons and still have the problem. If I disable javascript, the pages will load. When the page is trying to load, if I hit "stop loading this page" and then hit "reload this page", the page will load; but sometimes I have to do this 2-3 times for the page to finish loading. No problem with these pages using IE8.

I see that you ave changed some network.http prefs. 
Doing that can cause all kinds of problems because not all servers like such changes, so you can try to reset those prefs on the about:config page. 
network.http.max-connections 48 
network.http.max-connections-per-server 16 
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy 16 
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server 8

network.http.pipelining.firstrequest true 
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests 8 
network.http.proxy.pipelining true

Javascript on Firefox 18

Over the last couple of weeks I have been getting asked to update to Fx 18.0.1 as I am currently using Fx17.0.1. I was going to do it but then something I read on another forum stopped me.
A poster on this forum I am a member of said that Firefox has disabled Javascript on his computer and that he can no longer watch videos and read most websites.
Now is that true that there is no more Javascript on Firefox?
If it is true then I am sticking with Fx17 for as long as I can as I need Javascript as I watch videos and need certain webpages to function right.
So what is the Javascript situation with Fx18?

What cor-el was trying to say is that no, the version of Java you have is out of date. You should uninstall it (and any other versions on your computer) and install the latest, Java 7 update 11.
However, with that in mind, please note that Java is not at all related to Javascript (there is an unfortunate naming coincidence here but they aren't at all related, this is why alot of people get confused about Java blocks). If you don't use Java it is best to leave it disabled as it is a horrible vector for viruses and attacks.
So, to sum it up, update to Java 7 update 11. Then install Firefox 18.0.1. This will ensure you are on the most secure and stable version of Java and Firefox.

Is it possible to disable javascript on the fly?

After a web page has loaded sometimes I need to disable JavaScript without reloading the page. In the old Opera this was as simple as pressing F12 and disabling the option 'Enable JavaScript'. I've tried a few add-ons (NoScript, JS Switch, Toggle JS and QuickJava) but they all seem to reload the page to disable JS. The only way I've found to do what I want is to install Firebug to break into the code but I find this option very convoluted.
Is there a simple way to disable JS without reloading the page?

I wasn't aware that QuickJava is reloading the page as only the javascript.enable pref needs to be toggled.
What makes you think that the page is reloaded?
You can also look at the PrefBar extension.
