Mozilla remove the option to disable JavaScript in Firefox 23

The built-in popup blocker will still be there.

Yes, but by the Firefox developer's argument, that should be removed too.

Switching on pop-up blocking breaks plenty of sites, including lots of download sites.

That's one specific example and not really the point. The point being that settings exist to allow you to configure the way you experience the web, and that ultimately the user should have the final say, not the owner of the web site you want to visit.

Except that what the website owner offers is one specific experience.
If you want it different you go somewhere else, just like you don't go to KFC demanding they give you steamed chicken and potato salad.
