446179 - Per Site Blockable Javascript (Like Cookies)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 320522

(Firefox :: Settings UI, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-GB; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008070208 Firefox/3.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-GB; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008070208 Firefox/3.0.1

I'm missing the feature of having per-site blockable javascript functionality like we have with Cookies.
In the "permission" window of the Page info there should be a possibility to Allow/Deny the site to run JavaScript (and maybe also Java?).

This is something that's very needed from the last years of sites with "evil" javascript code running.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Just not possible to set this option


Expected Results:  
Possibility to set option

The NoScript addon provides this functionality, see if that does what you want. So far it has not been a popular enough request to incorporate into the basic Firefox, and many sites degrade badly when JavaScript is disabled.

I will look into if NoScript does what I need.

Regarding degrading websites when not having JavaScript on is exactly why I want to be able to disable/enable per site bases. Running this in a way like the cookies are made I can feel safe from websites running bad javascript code that I do not trust, while letting websites that I trust and vists every day be able to run things that I allow. As firefox now only allows to enable fully or disable for all.
