firefox : enable/disable JS, and photos, within the settings?
hello
since few years im a bit surprised by the fact, that on firefox, it's harder and harder to do the following customisation :
-enable or disable javascript
-enable or disable pictures of webpages
the thing is, years ago it was just a one-click setting to change, and now it's looks like to be needed either to go on nerdly-menu (about:config, and know by heart the right one), or to use an addon (that i dont want)
do you know if there is a possibility, for an offline computer (mean bye addons), without going to about:config, to enable/disable both Javascript feature, and picture of webpages?
it's the same for customised search engine : years ago it was faisable with just entering the address of a new one into the common settings, now it's looks like an addon is required.... why?!
years ago no addon nor connection was needed to :
-en/disable JS
-en/disable images/pictures on webpages
-add/remove search engine
..why?
Firefox has to serve a clientele or go out of business. I've always browsed mostly with lynx. I've switched to seamonkey for graphical browsing and scripts, for no better reason than that it's the only other graphics browser Slackware distributes. It has those 3 features, but it also doesn't block video and, for reasons I haven't figured out, doesn't work for some necessary sites.
Firefoggs is only slightly ahead of a browser I never even heard of (Samsung Internet) and behind a browser I never used (Opera). I could take the counter argument and say their strategy is not working.
