User Reviews

Users repeatedly flag malware and maintenance concerns as major negatives, while praising the addon’s test-friendly JS on/off per page and domain-specific disabling. Repeat issues include reliability on certain sites, UI visibility problems, and limited handling of offline URLs. Overall, its value for testing is tempered by safety and compatibility concerns.

Pros

Per-page JavaScript control for testing (noscript-like testing) on the current page.
Domain-based JavaScript disabling capability.
General usefulness for testing and debugging sites with JavaScript on/off states.

Cons

Contains malware across multiple versions/reviews, raising serious security concerns.
Extension appears to have been sold or is not actively maintained, causing trust and update issues.
Can cause site breakage or access problems on some sites (e.g., Cloudflare-protected pages) when JavaScript is disabled.
UI/UX issues: button visibility problems and a keyboard shortcut that conflicts with others.
Offline/file URL pages are not handled, limiting testing scenarios and coverage.

Recent reviews

Seems to work well and I changed the xpi to zip, looked over the code, and it seemed clean to me! I disabled auto updates for the extension just in case, because clearly the extension's original repository is dead. Also the fact that there's "resigned" in the file name is not a good sign, but, again, the code looks fine!! I wish these reviews about malware would specify in what file(s) and on what line(s) is the malicious code. I use this addon with noscript cause it adds a simple switch that I can put on the taskbar and it can just simply disable a single tab's js temporarily (until tab is closed). Which is nice when I don't want to completely unload the tab or block the associated sites or anything like that. I just want it to stop executing it's code temporarily. Also, Author; Please migrate your codebase to somewhere. Dude your github repo is gone obviously and even the web archive containing a copy of your github repo/issues just doesn't exist anymore.

Is Disable JavaScript Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Disable JavaScript requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Disable JavaScript may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
