Way too many Geeky answers here. I could understand that, after all this is Hacker News.
But Majority of Users, My guess that is 60-70% of them, wont even know what Javascript is or mean.
My bet is that there is Less then 10% of users who cares about this. And less then 5% who just cant stand to disable it in about:config instead of UI.
And It is true what Mozilla have pointed out, Disabling even some totally unrelated Javascripts like tracking will somtimes make a mess of Websites. I have seen it far too many times with Ghostery.
For those 5% who REALLY cares about Disabling Javascript for any reasons because you think you know so much. I dont see why using an Add-On or going to about:config searching for Disable Javascript is such as big hassle.
And if you DO have such a big concern over a missing UI features, you can always go to Opera.
