Hi,

It's a NoScript pref.

If there's a specific misbehaviour / bug in this piece of the
Tails/TBB configuration, please report it as such. Otherwise, I invite
you to satisfy your curiosity by reading the NoScript source code :)

AFAIK KB.MozillaZine doesn't document addons' prefs.

We don't really support disabling JavaScript globally. If you want to
do that anyway, I would recommend using "Forbid Scripts Globally" in
the NoScript menu. Only fiddle with prefs by hand if you're able to
understand the consequences, which probably implies reading the
affected source code.

Cheers,
