Comment(by rransom):

 Replying to [ticket:4188 cypherpunks]:

 > 4) We need to decide whether these addons would be enabled or disabled
 by default. Currently, we have HTTPS Everywhere enabled by default and
 NoScript disabled by default. So we already have a precedent of shipping
 addons which are disabled by default.

 NoScript is enabled by default in TBB.  We use it to block downloading of
 fonts and to block automatic execution of Flash programs if the user has
 installed and enabled Flash in TBB.
