A trick which works if you use Mastodon, since that page is a Mastodon post:
Go to the Mastodon instance where you have an account, and paste the URL in the search box. It should load the post within your Mastodon instance (and allow you to boost/favorite/etc), without running any JavaScript from the post's instance.
(It won't surprise me if someday a Firefox plugin is created to open these Mastodon post pages without running their JavaScript, by detecting it's Mastodon and going through the same protocol as federated instances to fetch the content. Of course, it would be better if the Mastodon server software didn't require JavaScript for simply showing a post page in the first place.)

I guess the redirect and re-open on your own instance would be a feature for graze? IDK. ¹ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/graze/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/graze/
