Details

Under "Edit/Preferences..." select "Advanced". Toggling checkboxes for "Enable JavaScript" doesn't change any setting on the preference "javascript.enabled". (Also should check to see that "javascript.allow.mailnews" is handled properly as well.)

mcafee, would you like to have this bug?
Target Milestone: M11
Enabling javascript sets "javascript.allow", not "javascript.enabled". Still a bug?
Whiteboard: Fix in hand, awaiting approval.
We should be using javascript.enabled, norris says. Fix in hand, awaiting approval.

Fixed. Turning JS off should now write out javascript.enabled as "false", it was writing out javascript.allow as "false" which was incorrect.
Status: RESOLVED → REOPENED
Resolution: FIXED → ---
In the 1999111016 build under NT, unticking the boxes for Enable JavaScript in the Advanced prefs seems to do nothing. When I view the contents of the all.js files on my hard drive, they all say: pref("javascript.enabled", true); pref("javascript.allow.mailnews", true); When I restart the browser and look at the Advanced pane again, the boxes remain unticked. So... this doesn't seem as if it's been fixed. Reopening. (In the mailnews.js file, it also says pref("mailnews.javascript_enabled", true); by the way.)
