Details

For development purposes I regularly need to toggle Javascript.
I need this, for example, to compare website frameworks or templates when I want to verify that, for example, a navigation works even if the target browser has Javascript disabled.

I would like to create a simple "Javascript toggle button addon" for this. I've seen some hacks to allow this (like fiddling with the page CSP headers) but it would be much simpler and cleaner if there would be just some API that allows to control the "javascript.enabled" pref.

A possible place to add this could be "browser.privacy.websites.javascriptEnabled".
