After a web page has loaded sometimes I need to disable JavaScript without reloading the page. In the old Opera this was as simple as pressing F12 and disabling the option 'Enable JavaScript'. I've tried a few add-ons (NoScript, JS Switch, Toggle JS and QuickJava) but they all seem to reload the page to disable JS. The only way I've found to do what I want is to install Firebug to break into the code but I find this option very convoluted. Is there a simple way to disable JS without reloading the page?

I wasn't aware that QuickJava is reloading the page as only the javascript.enable pref needs to be toggled.

What makes you think that the page is reloaded?

You can also look at the PrefBar extension.
