Hi there,

Thanks for the great add-on.
I have installed Debian Wheezy (Firefox 10-ESR) on the desktop computers of a company with non tech-savvy users. I would like to block Java while allowing Javascript globally. I know how that can be achieved with the GUI, but I will have to deploy it to a lot of PCs with existing Firefox profiles. Adding something like to the system-wide equivalent of prefs.js (/etc/iceweasel/pref/iceweasel.js on Debian) will block Java also on whitelisted sites, but is there an option to do the same thing for "allow scripts globally"?
I know about the dangers of this, but I must make sure the employees get at least some degree of protection without having to whitelist anything themselves.

Thanks a lot!

Thank you, therube.
Didn't get an email-notification of your reply. That's why I'm so late to reply.
I had tried that (as you can see above), but it somehow didn't work out. Now it does, don't know what I made wrong the first time around.
Anyway, here is what you have to enter for noscript to only block plugins, not javascript, on all sites: replace user_pref with lockPref in the system-wide config if you don't want users to change the values.

Nope, I thought it worked, but it didn’t. When I use "allow scripts globally" is not activated BUT it is locked! That means I cannot activate it in the menu anymore, so the option is recognized but not used correctly. about:addons tells me that noscript.global is true and locked.
I have no other add-ons installed.
Probably a bug?
