JavaScript is the root of most evil (Dialers, Trojans etc.), so it's disabled on
my systems by default. Unfortunately there are still some sites requiring
JavaScript. What I request is either

- an option to add some sites to a "trusted" Domain
  (like it is possible with cookies) where JavaScript is executed) or
- an option to enable JavaScript in a certain tab or at least
- have a hotkey like in Opera to quick-enable JavaScript if it's needed
  without having to click through dozens of menus.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Take a look at IEs zone model or Operas Hotkeys
Actual Results:

Expected Results:

me too.  I have javascript disabled also due to it's only use up to this point
being malicious hackerism and adware, however, google has now seen fit to come
up with something really useful (google maps) that requires javascript.

I would like to be able to enable javascript either only for google maps (i.e.
per site confiuration), or on the fly within the context of a particular tab/window.

as it is, google maps is something I can not use unless I close all my tabs,
enable javascript, do my google maps thing, disable javascript then get back to
what I was doing...

There are a number or extensions which let you enable and disable JavaScript
quickly. This works ok IF you always remember to disable JavaScript after you
leave a trusted site. Unfortunately I often forget that. 

You can also tell Mozilla/Firefox which domains may execute JavaScript via
about:config or user.js. This is awkward and error-prone.

So I would really like to see a UI to manage the list of sites which are trusted
to execute JavaScript. Konqueror has a rather nice UI for this.

what extensions?  I couldn't find any on the mozilla extensions site.

also, how do you config these using user.js or about:config?

I only found 4 flags, all boolean in about:config...

sorry for bugspam, long-overdue mass reassign of ancient QA contact bugs,
filter on "beltznerLovesGoats" to get rid of this mass change
