September 1, 200619 yr Ok, i'm using the latest version of Firefox. I want to know if there is a way to disable javascript, either entirely or for certain pages. The reason is, I get pop-ups because of it. Is there any way to disable it?
September 1, 200619 yr I've just downloaded Firefox 1.5.0.6 and on mine, it may different because i think i'm using a skin, it's.. Tools > Options > Content > Then untick enable Javascript. It forced my webpage to open a link in the same window whereas it otherwise would have opened a new one via javascript. But other scripts may work, i don't specifically work. And there may be Add-ons you could get for firefox that would stop ads and javascript more selectively, but i dont use firefox, so i cant tell you for sure.
September 2, 200619 yr There's an extention called "Noscript" (found in the Firefox extentions website) that allows you to block javascript and other plugins on everything but trusted websites. I've never used it before but keep hearing good things about it. Probably worth a try. You can also find Adblock and the Filterset.G updater for it on the extentions website. Again, never used before, but worth a try.

Thanks for help everyone. I got No-Script now, and it works fine. :)
