Yes.

"Keep JavaScript enabled, while keeping NoScript active" could mean a few different things that are possible, so if you would like more details, could you please be more specific what you have in mind?

NoScript automatically disables JavaScript in Firefox on Linux which breaks a lot of websites. I'd like to keep JS on while also using NoScript everywhere so that webpages dont break on me

You could

NoScript | Options | General -> Temporarily set top-level sites to TRUSTED

which might help some.


Otherwise, sounds like you'd want something that worked on a blacklist basis (where NoScript is based on a whitelist basis).

NoScript Options > General, in Default tab, check "script" (and also "unrestricted CSS" since that's not useful to disallow where JS is allowed)

This method allows using NoScript's per-site permissions system for other capabilities. And to disable individual site's JS while keeping JS enabled by default, you can explicitly set the site Untrusted.

This worked, tysm!

You're welcome
