Just as you can block image loading, popups, and software installation from
specific sites in Preferences, it would be *extremely* useful to be able to
allow/ignore Java/Javascript in a per site basis. 

In my daily browsing, there are only a few sites that make a valuable use of
Java/Javascript. The others use it as a replacement of the old annoying popup ads. 

Ditto for Flash, but I'm not sure this one is in your hands.

If Javascript is turned off, you would have a list of 'allowed' sites/domains
from which the browser will execute Javascript. I myself would use this option,
and only allow GMail to begin with; then add sites as I find them. This is more
practical for me since useful J/JS is rare in my experience.

If Javascript is turned on, you would have a list of 'blacklisted'
sites/domains, so Firefox will ignore all Javascript code from them.

Reproducible: Always

Per-site JavaScript controllability is there. We call it 'CAPS'.

For Java is Bug 94035.
