Re: [Bug-gnuzilla] Suggestion: JavaScript button

[awakeyet]

I'm sorry if I'm misunderstanding this but it appears to me after 
reading a few of these emails about this back and forth that this is 
Exceptionally illogical, to the point of being "HUE HUE HUE HUE HUE"

forgive
 me, but in all seriousness, NoScript literally does exactly that if not
 perhaps even better. that's the "temporarily allow scripts" button in 
NoScript.

also it's a security risk to temporarily allow ALL 
_javascript_ and quickly disable it again because that would take away the
 users ability to control what happens in that short instant. why in the
 name of god almighty anyone would ever want to create a hole like that 
is beyond me.

unbeatable rules: everything disallowed by default,
 only enable specifically what you want to allow, ONLY WHEN you want to 
allow it. and that's how NoScript does it.

what are you even asking for? reading your emails has caused my brain to liquify and pour out of my nose.
