Such basic choices are parts of each browser's preferences from day 1 and should not be hidden from users.

It's an assumed choice of the UX team to make Firefox a modern browser (how many websites are usable without JavaScript or images?). For more info, see http://limi.net/checkboxes-that-kill/
To disable JavaScript, go to about:config and set javascript.enabled to false.

… or use an extension like NoScript, which allows for far greater control on this setting.

Well, I think it is a core function. Should be there.

See also Bug 998456 which is about disabling JS from about:config no longer working. I feel almost like there is an evil plot going on.
