Hello, The Firefox settings panel does not include an option to disable [[JavaScript settings and preferences for interactive web pages|JavaScript]] but you can still disable it using the [[Configuration Editor for Firefox|Firefox Configuration Editor]] (about:config page) or by installing an add-on. '''about:config''' # In the address bar, type '''about:config''' and press Enter. # Click "I accept the risk!" # 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 those 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) Thank you and I hope this helps!
