Package: iceweasel Followup-For: Bug #720968 The option to disable javascript still exists: go to about:config, and toggle javascript.enabled. That option intentionally no longer has a checkbox in the GUI, and I don't think it makes sense for Debian to diverge from upstream on that. If you want a checkbox for that option, install an addon that gives you one, or install something more flexible like NoScript or Adblock Plus.
The other half of this report relates to the browser re-enabling the option on upgrade, which then requires technical users who really did intend to disable javascript to re-do that change via about:config (assuming they didn't previously do so via user.js, which will persist across upgrades). That change on upgrade exists to support novice users who may have unintentionally broken their browser by toggling that checkbox in the GUI without knowing what they were doing. That change seems debatable, but I'd personally argue against diverging from upstream on that point either. - Josh Triplett -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
