Feature proposals: Possibility to add buttom for enable/disable JavaScript and Flash easily? Horizontal navigation missing.

It is very useful and secure to disable JavaScript and Flash when not needed them. But sometimes they must be used.

It is too frustrating to enable/disable JS via menu and No-Script addon is not very handy. It would be better if there were toggle buttom for enable/disable JavaScript. Needed also for Flash. Could you implement this simple feature for next update.

Also: Ealier it was possible to navigate horizontally rss-bottons and tabs by arrow buttons. Later this feature has been removed. Could you retrieve it.

hello tukitunnus, for feature requests & ideas please use firefox > help > submit feedback...

for plugins you could turn on the (still experimental) click-to-play feature, so that they will only run when they are really needed - for information on how to switch it on please refer to the second to last paragraph at https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2012/10/11/click-to-play-plugins-blocklist-style/
