Re: [Bug-gnuzilla] Suggestion: JavaScript button

The developer of QuickJava also suggested NoScript, but I don't think
NoScript's infrastructure is capable of handling the task any better
than QuickJava is. NoScript is designed to block scripts based on the
scripts' location, not based on what Web page you are currently looking
at. This makes sense from NoScript's perspective since it's a security
suite, but not particularly helpful for what I'm proposing.

Actually, the closest add-on I can think of is LibreJS, with its
"temporarily allow all scripts" button (or whatever it's called). But I
don't think using LibreJS as a base would be very wise due to the way it
blocks JavaScript being slow and causing rendering errors in some cases.
A new add-on should be developed that blocks scripts in a way more
similar to NoScript, but then allows all scripts on a given page in a
way more similar to LibreJS at the press of a button.

I don't know any JavaScript or have the time to be learning a new skill
right now. That being said, I am prepared to offer a bounty for a
Firefox add-on that does the job well (i.e. in a reliable way, *not* the
simple but possibly unreliable method I suggested previously). I can
offer $50. Would anyone else like to join me?
