Turning Off Java Applets

Some web pages provide a rich interactive experience with Java™
applets.  However, some users that rely on keyboard navigation may
experience problems with some Java applets that automatically set
focus and do not provide a way to break out of the applet and
navigate to the rest of the web page.  If this is a problem for you,
you can disable Java by going to Edit  > Preferences, selecting the
Content and unchecking the Enable Java
preference.

Restricting JavaScript Behavior

You can turn off JavaScript entirely by going to  Edit  > Preferences,
selecting the Content panel, and unchecking Enable
JavaScript.  Some web pages rely on JavaScript and may not work
properly if JavaScript is disabled.

If you do not wish to disable JavaScript entirely, there are also a
number of advanced JavaScript settings to restrict the behavior of
scripts.  Immediately after the Enable JavaScript checkbox,
click the Advanced button to open the Advanced JavaScript
Settings window.  You can control whether scripts are allowed
to move or resize existing windows, raise or lower windows, disable or
replace context menus, hide the status bar, or change status bar
text.
