I just installed FF on my Android phone last week. Haven't started using it yet but I'm desperate for any mobile browser that supports the equivalent of Chrome's Quick Javascript Switcher extension - something that gives me one button "disable javascript for this domain".

I like using well designed webapps and I generally prefer to leave Javascript enabled. Unfortunately most content sites have become so incredibly user-hostile that the only way to read them is without Javascript. I do not care about enhanced privacy yadda yadda whatever... I just need to be able to turn off the crazy that much of the modern web has become.

I guess I'm too late? Sounds like FF is not my answer.

Brave has this. You can toggle JavaScript in the Brave menu. You can even go into preferences and change it to disable JavaScript by default and use the Brave button as a whitelist. I ran this way for years. It was great!

I recently switched to Kiwi+uBlock Origin because it has a proper night mode, but if you don't need that Brave is a good option (you can ignore/disable the crypto currency/advertisment nonsense).

Both uBlock and NoScript are available addons in mobile. Both of these addons are able to accomplish what you want, and more (and are highly popular).

The full list of supported addons are: uBlock, HTTPS Everywhere, Privacy Badger, Decentraleyes, Search by Image, Dark Reader, NoScript, YouTube High Definition, and Privacy Possum.

Firefox on Android has this single button toggle option in the uBlock Origin add-on, which does exactly as you described wanting.
