Comment (by cypherpunks):
This really isn't an easy fix in terms just putting the checkboxes back on
in the prefs. The root issue is that none of those check boxes should be
there. The root issue is that noscript has a decent amount of
functionality that shouldn't be exposed to the user, because we are
already messing with it somewhere else, either in patches or in torbutton,
or in prefs--or they are settings we must not let users change, like the
ABE stuff for instance, or the HTTPS stuff--since we ship HTTPS
Everywhere, it is again redundant there.
This ticket maybe should be renamed to "Redundant interfaces in Tor
Browser", or something.
So the only solution I really see to this is forking noscript into
torbutton somehow. I am no JS person, so I personally wounldn't know how
viable this is.
Quick Fix: Essentially all that is required is hiding some of the
interfaces from the user, and insuring the correct default settings
Best Fix: Putting all these interfaces into Torbutton, I think?
