Here is the step-by-step instructions for disabling JavaScript in your browsers. By the way, Java and JavaScript are two different things, so make sure that you're looking at the correct language.

TIP : If you're a web developer, you are adding JavaScript to your pages, it's a good idea to view your pages with JavaScript disabled, so you can get an idea what users without JavaScript enabled browsers would see.


WARNING : Please note that you may loose some of the web page functionality by disabling JavaScript.

Type about:config in your location bar and press "ENTER" button..

Step 2 :

Now confirm the warning message..

Step 3 :

Now , type "javascript.enabled" in search box..

Now change the value of javascript.enabled to false (The default value is "true".. to change it to "false", Right click on it and select toggle option.)

To enable it again, toggle the value back to its default value.. (i.e) set the value as "true"

Disable JavaScript In Google Chrome

Step 1 :

Open Browser Settings and then goto content options(through advace settings).. or (You can also directly access content settings simply , type chrome:settings/content in location bar and press "ENTER" button..)
Then look at there for javascript options..

Step 2 :

To disable JavaScript in your chrome browser.. Check the radio button named
"Do Not Allow Any Site To Run JavaScript"

Disable JavaScript In Opera Browser

In Firefox on Windows operating system, if you press the `backspace` key, it will take you one page back from current web page, an action that similar to when the both Firefox and IE browser's "Back" button, while `Shift+Backspace` will go forward. The backspace key is mapped to "Back" function in Firefox for Windows is for consistency with Internet Explorer.

On the other hand, Firefox in Linux by default does not map the backspace key to "Go Back" function to improve consistency with other applications running on Linux. Instead, the page will scroll up or down (when pressing Shift+Backspace key together).
The backspace as Back button feature can be easily turned on or off depending on user preference. Thus, Firefox for Windows users can disable the back function mapping to backspace key, and Firefox for Linux can enable the backspace to map to Back function easily, by using the following Firefox preference.

Step 1 :

Type about:config and then press Enter key in Firefox Location Box..

And then confirm the warning message.

Step 2 :

Then type "backspace" in search bar and locate the following preference name: browser.backspace_action
Right click on it ,select "Modify" option

and change the browser.backspace_action value to one of the following values (as per your need):

Set value as 0: If you want to set backspace key as 'Go Back' short cut. (Default in Windows)

Set value as 2: If you want disable Backspace as shortcut for 'Go Back' . (Default in Linux)

Can you spread the word? Privacy Awerness Video By Mozilla - Episode 1

mozilla


Can you spread the word? Privacy Awerness Video By Mozilla - Episode 1

mozilla Hello,

I wanted to share a new video created by Mozilla that's already been viewed more than 350,000 times(on mozilla website ) since it released .

The video is designed for people who are new to the privacy discussion and helps explain why we should all care about our right to privacy. The more people we can reach, the greater our power to create change. Can you share it with your friends and family?


This is the first video in a multi-part series about encryption - you can read more about that below.
More soon --
------------------------------

Hello,
We can move more people from simply consuming the Web to becoming its active citizens, but we need your help.
People like you and I know how fundamental privacy is to the open Web. There are many more who share our values and would join this movement. That's why we made something to spotlight the importance of online privacy. We're creating videos for you to watch and then share with friends, family, and colleagues. The videos are designed to be an introduction to the issues we care about - a way for each of us to start important conversations.

This is where you come in: will you watch this first video and then share it? It's a great tool to start a conversation about privacy with people you know.
This new video series starts simple: it explores why privacy is so important in our everyday lives. In follow up videos we'll send over the next few weeks, we'll talk about encryption, and tell the story of how encryption can help enable and protect privacy.  

Why do this now? We expect there are a number of significant political battles on surveillance and encryption coming down the pipe. We're going to need to ask people like you and your friends to take a stand. Before we do this, we want to provide a solid grounding on why encryption matters.  

Will you watch the video now and help spread the word?

P.S. This is a new campaign strategy for us and we will learn a lot as the weeks go on. We'd love to hear your feedback - after watching the video, you can reply to this email and let us know what you think. Or send an email to askjoin@mozilla.org.
