- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12997417, 7 years agoAs simple and useful. JS ON / OFF, thats what it does nothing more.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13525801, 7 years agobug on firefox for android:
After "clicking to disable javascript" from the context menu, I can not enable it back because there is still "click to disable javascript" in the context menu...
hmm... - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13359035, 7 years agoSimple and effective. I love that it gives me the options whether or not to have it reload the page upon toggling JS on and/or off.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13525521, 7 years agoThis add-on does not behave well on my Note 3. The toggle icon went away after I toggled off Java and I could not toggle it back on. I uninstalled and Java was still blocked, so i reinstalled it and found the toggle options in the drop down options in Firefox 57. I 'enabled' Java, but it was still being blocked. I finally had to uninstall Firefox and reinstall it to enable Java to run. Needs some further development before I could recommend.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Riksoft, 7 years agoThe addon is good but, for Mozilla's fault, the addons have lost power on what they can do (not only this one).
As such, this addon does not enable/disable the javascript flag (about:config, javascript.enable=false) anymore, on the contrary it only BLOCK the execution, and there is a chasm between TOGGLING and BLOCKING.
Toggling JS off means that website can see you don't have JS and it doesn't waste time sending scripts. It also means that the website can adapt itself for browsers without JS so that you can have it working partially or even 100% even without JS.
On the contrary, blocking means the website knows nothing about your browser blocking JS, so:
- The band/time is wasted because it sends the JS script anyway
- the website doesn't work well or at all (try google image: empty page. With a real toggler it was 100% useable without JS).
Result: None of the JS toggler for FF 57+ can really act as a toggler and we have the above problems.
The problem is not of this extension or is a developer fault, the problem is Mozilla Firefox way (and Google Chrome is even worse). - Rated 5 out of 5by Reza, 7 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13328225, 7 years agoThanks, works great as replacement for quickjava. Now please get together with the author of "CSS Toggler" and create matching icons ;-) j/k
- Rated 3 out of 5by Wizcrafts, 7 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, 7 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, 7 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.
