Yes.
It can also be accessed from within Firefox -> Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions. Then search for it, etc.
Thanks. It works.
Glad to hear it.
Unfortunately, it's quite difficult to determine which script eats up the system's resources, notably its CPU and RAM). Moreover, NoScript can only blacklist domain names, not offensive (probably defective) scripts.
NoScript, though, shouldn't take the blame for this problem. A lot of websites use javascript and use it too much. In addition, many websites use code from other sites over which they have no control. And Firefox, which is in many ways a really effective and useful browser, provides no tools (none I know of) which allows users even just to track processes launched by a visited website, let alone throttle or kill those which are causing problems. It's a serious problem which deserves a lot more attention than it's getting.
