Hello,
The Firefox settings panel does not include an option to disable JavaScript but you can still disable it using the Firefox Configuration Editor (about:config page) or by installing an add-on.
To use the about:config page,
- In the address bar, type about:config and press Enter.
- Click on
- In the search bar, search for javascript.enabled.
- Right click the result named javascript.enabled and click on "Toggle". JavaScript is now disabled.
To Re-enable JavaScript, repeat those steps.
You can also use an add-on to disable JavaScript, for example:
(Compatible with Firefox 57+)
(Firefox 56 and below)
The following add-ons also let you disable JavaScript; however, they're not currently compatible in Firefox Quantum (version 57):
- No-Script (to disable JavaScript on a per page basis, as required)
- QuickJava (to easily disable and enable JavaScript, automatic loading of images, and other content)
- SettingSanity (adds back removed options for JavaScript, Advanced JavaScript Settings, loading images, and showing the Tab Bar)
Thank you and I hope this helps!
