How to turn off JavaScript in Firefox

With the continuous development of Internet technology, JavaScript has become an indispensable programming language. But when using a browser to browse websites online, JavaScript sometimes causes us trouble. For some users like me, there may be times when we need to turn off JavaScript in the browser. At this time, we need to know some methods on how to turn off JavaScript in Firefox.

First, we need to understand the role of JavaScript in the browser. It can achieve dynamic web page effects, such as entering search keywords in the input box, dynamically displaying search results without leaving the page, or implementing special effects such as dragging and mouse hovering. But in some special cases, such as when opening certain websites or programs, we may need to turn off JavaScript to avoid the trouble these special effects bring to us. Next, we will introduce two methods to turn off JavaScript in Firefox.

Method 1:

First, we need to open Firefox and enter "about:config" in the URL bar and press the Enter key. At this point, Firefox's advanced settings page will open on the screen. This page is the lowest configuration page in the Firefox browser, and we need to operate it carefully.

In this page, click on the search box and enter "javascript.enabled", then press Enter. A setting option named "javascript.enabled" will be displayed on the page. Next, change its value from "true" to "false".

After we close this page and visit the webpage that required JavaScript to be turned off again, we will find that the special effects on this page have been completely cancelled.

Method 2:

Method 2 is relatively simple, but it cannot prevent the downloading of JS files. In this method, we only need to open the browser, then find the "Options" button in the upper menu bar, and then click the "Privacy and Security" option in the drop-down menu.

Next, in the “Privacy & Security” page, we need to find the “Content Blocking” option. At this point, we’ll see a checkbox called “Enable Tracking Protection Mode.” Just check it and simply close the options page.

This method is a relatively simple method, but it cannot effectively prevent the loading of JS files, and turning off this option may cause unknown errors on the website, so it is not recommended for long-term use.

In general, if we want to turn off JavaScript in the browser, the above two methods are feasible. Method one can effectively block special effects for the entire page, while method two only sets up tracking protection. In actual use, we should choose different methods according to personal needs. If you frequently need to turn off JavaScript, using method one may be a better choice. If we often browse websites on some web pages that require privacy protection, you can choose method two to protect your privacy.
