Firefox 23 doesn't ship with JavaScript "always on". It's on by default, as it always has been. And the option to turn it off was removed from the main options dialog. This is for sensible reasons -- many users turn it off either accidentally, or without understanding what it means ("this must be that insecure Java thing I keep hearing about") which breaks many websites. But the 0.01% of people who like to browse without JS enabled can still do so via about:config -- look for "javascript.enabled". Or they can use an add-on. Or they can wait a version or two (I'm not sure the exact timeline) whereupon you'll be able to disable it via the developer tools UI.

  Pedantry never hurt anybody. He's a Firefox developer, the clarifications are interesting.

    > Pedantry never hurt anybody Disagree. > He's a Firefox developer, the clarifications are interesting That's good. Then he ought to recall what's in the release notes for Firefox 23: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/23.0/releasenotes/ http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/23.0/releasenotes/ > "Enable JavaScript" preference checkbox has been removed and user-set values will be reset to the default

      How does pedantry hurt people?
