User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.14) Gecko/20100930 SeaMonkey/2.0.9

It would be a  significant improvement to be able to control whether Javascript is enabled on a site by site basic.  This would be an extension to the existing Advanced:Script preference page.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. turn javascript off
2. visit google.com
3. turn javascript back on
4. visit other web sites
Actual Results:  
1,3. painful switching javascript off and on
2. google works a lot better


Expected Results:  
should be able to control javascript on a per site basis. probably using exceptions to the default setting for certain web sites.

Why hasn't anybody already implemented such a feature?

You could use the NoScript extension.

This is what NoScript does, which we probably won't include in SeaMonkey by default.
