Who came up with the ridiculous idea of removing disable images and javasceipt checkboxes in options? Please bring it back or it's bye bye firefox for me.
My browser recently updated to firefox 23 and I was so shocked to see the core functions - disable images and javascript missing. I spent a good while going through every single menu and sub-menu because the idea that firefox could make such a laughable and stupid decision to remove it didn't even occur to me. I've been using firefox for YEARS, and in all the 20+ releases I've lived through, this by far wins the cake of WTF. I use these features on daily basis and I seriously have no idea what made firefox developers think that they won't make users flip the tables by removing such useful basic functionality. So if this isn't fixed in next update, I'm giving up firefox. It sucks to have to part with it after so long, but you're giving users no choice. A browser that is so severely handicapped isn't worth wasting my time on. I'll go back to firefox 22 until I see if this is addressed in near future, else I need to go for google chrome.
Honestly, VERY very disappointing update from firefox.

Hello mikhayel, you can use the next add-on for that : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/quickjava/?src=search

Agreed with the first poster. I just had to spend more time than I thought necessary trying to deal with this just to simply do something that was always so simple before in FireFox.
Thanks to that complicated QuickJava plugin suggested as an alternative, I clicked its button to see what would happen... and WHOOPS! There goes Javascript. Clicking it back doesn't re-enable it. Thanks. This is just what I needed when I wanted to ONLY DISABLE IMAGES.
Instead of playing around with its settings I decided to just remove it asap and try another avenue instead of screwing up my settings any more being new to the add-on. Removing the plugin left my browser without Javascript... great. That was a fun experiment. I guess that's my "thank you for trying!".
Congratulations, OP, for making it clear how ridiculous this dumb decision was. I'm going to follow your suggestion and actually say "bye bye" to Firefox. I've been using it since the days when it used to be called Firebird. Yeah, long time ago. And this day marks the end. It seems the policy these days is to appeal to newcomers to computers, instead of the actual computer users who made this program popular in the first place. This seems to be the death kiss for any good piece of software that gets too popular.
