- Rated 3 out of 5by Wizcrafts, 9 years agoThis is a good, lightweight , new technology Firefox add-on. It is good that it enables or disables JavaScript with one click. But, it is lacking what I consider to be an important option. That option would be to choose if the default action on a new or unclassified web page/domain should be enabled or disabled.
Presently, this extension allows JavaScript by default. Clicking it once toggles that action for all domains that one has not yet whitelisted (in the so-labeled user input field). As soon as you toggle it to allow scripting on any website, it stays that way for all web pages. This could allow a popup, poisoned ad, or JavaScript driven iframe to do its dirty work on a freshly loaded page or site.
So, I suggest adding a user option to deny by default on unwhitelisted sites. This would make browsing new sites a little safer (unless user action to allow scripting revealed a hidden attack!). I would place that option as a right click flyout option on the toolbar icon.
I am only giving it 3 stars because with Firefox 56, it does not honor its whitelisted domains. I have added in a list of approved domains and if I toggle the JavaScript off for a new domain, it stays off for Facebook, Twitter, etc, and all other previously whitelisted domains. This is the opposite of its stated whitelist purpose. If this behavior changes with Firefox 57, I will add one more star. - Rated 4 out of 5by alkoro, 9 years agoThank you for a useful ff57+ addon.
On local opened html-files this addon do not work. JavaScript still enabled, but it disabled for online-pages. A simple static html-code WITHOUT 'javascript' BUT with 'noscript' tags can not work. Probably, javascript did not REALLY disable? - Rated 4 out of 5by meetDeveloper, 9 years agoI liked this and JavaScript control extension, but both had some problem, this extension does not have domain specific toggling of JavaScript and the JavaScript control though had that, but has default JavaScript is turn off on all pages. So i forked cod of JavaScript control and made another extension "Quick JS Switcher", If you need that functionality please feel free to test it out.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 12814982, 9 years agoThe AddOn does what it wants.
It deactivates all JavaScripts on a web page with one click.
Unfortunately, all JavaScripts are enabled by default and not disabled.
It is also not possible to deactivate individual domains. All or nothing. - Rated 4 out of 5by Israel Barbosa da Silva, 9 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Kreen Chang, 9 years agoFeatures of “JavaScript Toggle On and Off (WebExtension)” is enough good now and works smoothly for people who like switching enable/disable javascript quickly on Firefox 55.0.3. Specialty, Whitelist is really useful functions.
Would it also get “Blacklist” function to make more convenience in the future? With Blacklist people could browser with javascript execute on normal site, but auto disables javascript execution on that appointed page which has bothering javascript function. - Rated 4 out of 5by AcidCrash, 9 years agoHi nice addon.
Could you please add the more options to "auto-refresh page after toggle" and "default toggle state"? - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13248843, 9 years ago
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13232710, 9 years agoI can't tell whether it is on or off (or whether it works at all) on Firefox for Android and there seems to nothing that mentions Android at all.
