So, how bout installing the noscript extension & enabling javascript for
sites where it is absolutely necessary?


You are a genius. What a wonderful solution. I each site i just go to
Edit -> Preferences -> Content -> Enable JavaScript. And them wait for
each click or page scroll. I have a better one: Why not just use Opera
in instead of FF? This one is much better: If you have nothing worth
to say why don't you just shut up?

Or, alternatively, why don't you bite the hand that helps you?
