I can't imagine cookies or Javascript being enabled globally.  I won't 
leave those default settings.   Cookies from "regular old web sites" 
aren't necessarily the benign "little files a web site places on your 
computer to enhance the use of our site," that they used to be.  Maybe 
need to read up on what "little old cookies" from avg sites can do now.  
Having them enabled globally - in Tor or regular Firefox - doesn't seem 
like a good idea.  Nor does having Javascript globally enabled.
