Toggle JavaScript engine on and off the easy way

JavaScript Toggle On and Off (WebExtension) - Firefox Add-on
JavaScript Toggle On and Off (WebExtension) is a reliable Firefox add-on designed to give users control over JavaScript operations. It allows JavaScript execution to be toggled on or off in both standard and private browsing modes. It features a default hotkey for quick toggling and supports white-listing domains. Post-installation, JavaScript execution is enabled by default – a toolbar button click disables the execution. It is the WebExtension version of the JavaScript Toggle On and Off add-on.
