Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 312110

(Thunderbird :: Preferences, enhancement)

TB permits or blocks Javascript application-wide. I like a default deny policy, but I'd like to be able to override the default for certain trusted RSS feeds. One possible response to this enhancement request would be a port of the FF no-script plugin (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/722) to TB. Another might be to split the current javascript.allow.mailnews option in the config editor into  javascript.allow.mail and javascript.allow.news. But I think the best solution would be an explicit preference setting in the properties dialog of each feed.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
(This is a request for feature enhancement.)

1. Expand the "News & Blogs" tree in the folder pane.
2. Right-click on any RSS feed, and select "Properties".
3. Observe that there is no option to enable JavaScript.
Actual Results:  
There was no opportunity to enable JavaScript for my trusted RSS feeds.

Expected Results:  
I would like the option to permit JavaScript on trusted RSS feeds, without having to enable JavaScript globally.
