-0 These are intentionally non-user-facing options, provided as workarounds for power users.

Anyone who would actually need to these options would know how to set them in the about:config. You would probably just confuse most users and they might enable them without knowing the implications.

That's painful though.

Well it's a chance to educate them.

Perhaps maybe if it's possible to do a right click context menu item on each script that would auto-set the filter to that specific script?

Isn't manually adding @excludes good enough?

Add about:config options to the options window

I think what Martii means is that this context menu item

Right... sorry if I was generalizing the issue that erikvold made... this possible feature request could be inclusive with this issue ticket and on topic but probably too generalized for what you are asking erikvold... sorry about the confusion.

-1; these are specifically put in about:config, so unsuspecting users won't stumble on them. Of those four, three open up potential security holes.

Also, exposing too much stuff (especially hard-to-understand stuff that only a minimal subset of users will understand or benefit from) in a UI has a negative usability impact.

about:config's first-time (and until its checkbox is checked) warning about the dangers of poking around in there conveys a well merited cautioning that applies extra much to the first three. Exposing that stuff in plain view conveys the opposite message, inviting users to shoot themselves in the foot easier.
