Not sure what was meant, but would it make * any * sense to include 
NoScript & then disable most functionality of it?

Huh?  It's early in AM, but which are you advocating - or both?

Others can weigh in on this:  In past, I've had conflicts running 
QuickJava & Torbutton.  One prob was once toggled Torbutton off, & shut 
down Tor, QuickJava didn't properly toggle plugins unless restarted 
Firefox - * at minimum. *  Been a while, but may have had to uninstall / 
reinstall QuickJava to restore functions.  Plan on trying it again.

How do you get pages to work correctly - such as clicking links to d/l 
files, if only allow JS on "very few" pages?  Seems to me, more trusted 
sites than not require some JS to use the sites.  I'm curious, since you 
said "very few," not "on trusted sites."

Back to QuickJava & NoScript:  Aren't they overlapping - possibly 
conflicts of using both?
