feature request: disable Javascript

[Roberto Saccon]

inspired by the previous post, I add something to my Firebug wish
list:

an easy way to disable JavaScript temporarily. That is something I
need to do often just to check how a site looks like when there is no
Javascript. I know that it can be done at the browser, but enabling /
disabling requires quite a lot of clicks. And there some other
exensions which provide a button for enabling/disabling JS, but those
extensions all come with stuff I do not need.

In case you think this feature is not needed, what is you preferred
method to disable / enable JS ?

The web developper toolbar extension would be your friend.

well, with the web developer toolbar I need to:

1) open the webdeveloper toolbar
2) select the menu
3) select the submenu
4) select the option to disable all JS
5) refresh the browser

then to re-enable:

6) select the menu
7) select the submenu
8) select the option to enable all JS
9) refresh the browser
10) close the webdeveloper toolbar


What I want is one little toggle button (or menu option) which does
all those 10 steps.


I currently use an extension called QuickJava which reduces those 10
steps a bit.

And I even added once a quick-JS-toggle functionality to an extension
I wrote (but that project is dead now), so if I remember properly, it
is really simple to implement. On the other hand, I never read here
that people want to disable JS (contrary to the most wanted feature:
"saving" the live HTML/CSS). Is it because, well, Firebug is for
working WITH Javascript and not without, not even for testing ?? Or is
it just me, too lazy for those 10 steps from above ?

There is now a QuickJS extension, which does just toggeling JS (in the
statubar), so that is the best one can get in this regard, and my wish
to get this feature added to Firebug not justified anymore ...

If you have the Web Developer tool AS a toolbar, all you have to do is
select Disable -> Javascript -> All. It takes less than 20 seconds,
seriously. I don't know where you're getting this 'refresh' and
'reopen toolbar' stuff, because it works immediately.
