How to enable and disable JavaScript in Firefox

I don't understand why the Firefox programmers / designers make it annoyingly difficult to disable and enable JavaScript globally. It was easier in the old Netscape browser a gazillion years ago.

Open Firefox
In the address bar, type about:config then press Enter on your keyboard
Please note, if your version of Firefox was pre-installed on your machine or device, altering settings in this was may void your warranty
Otherwise, click on the I’ll be careful, I promise! button to continue
In the search bar, type javascript.enabled to find the preference option of the same name
Right-click on the javascript.enabled option, then click on the Toggle menu item
The Value column should now read as false, meaning JavaScript is disabled. A Value of true means JavaScript is enabled
Restart Firefox then visit whatismyipaddress.ricmedia.com to confirm JavaScript status
To enable JavaScript, follow the steps again and Toggle it’s Value to true
