## Description

**Script Switch** is a straightforward browser extension that allows users to toggle JavaScript on or off across all open tabs and windows efficiently. With a simple toolbar button and a keyboard shortcut (`ALT+J`), managing JavaScript execution becomes effortless. When JavaScript is enabled, the extension icon glows green; when disabled, it turns grey, providing clear visual feedback.

Designed for Firefox users, Script Switch enhances browsing control, useful for developers, testers, or privacy-conscious users who need to quickly disable scripts. You can easily test the functionality at [isjsenabled.com](http://isjsenabled.com). Feedback and contributions are welcomed on the [GitHub repository](https://github.com/JordanMajd/script_switch).
