"NoScript is a Firefox add-on which allows executable content such as JavaScript to run only if it is being hosted on a domain that you trust. This easily configurable extension has been touted as a must have and can protect you from a wide array of security exploits."
"Winner of the "2006 PC World World Class Award", this tool provides extra protection to your Firefox. It allows JavaScript, Java and other executable content to run only from trusted domains of your choice, e.g. your home-banking web site, and guards the "trust boundaries" against cross-site scripting attacks (XSS). Such a preemptive approach prevents exploitation of security vulnerabilities (known and even unknown!) with no loss of functionality... Experts do agree: Firefox is really safer with NoScript."
"With the amount of JavaScript-related vulnerabilities that keep popping up browsing unknown sites can be a dangerous risk, even with the latest virus scan and firewall software running. When it comes to web surfing nowadays, your best bet is to protect yourself as much as possible without compromising too much of the experience. Having the NoScript add-on goes a long way in ensuring the safety of your Firefox browser, especially when navigating uncharted waters."
