I believe bookmarklets still work -- the restriction only applies if the javascript: URIs were typed in by the user.

Right. Apparently this "security" feature came about because people followed instructions on random facebook pages saying "paste this in your address bar to activate $RANDOM_FAKE_FACEBOOK_FEATURE".

You can still run Javascript via the Scratchpad (Web Developer -> Scratchpad, or hit Shift-F4).
