The one I use is called, appropriately enough, Disable JavaScript [0]. It puts a simple toggle button in the toolbar, and remembers the setting on a per-domain basis. If a website has annoying behavior, it's little effort to switch JavaScript off to see if the site is still usable that way, or to re-enable it briefly to glance at some missing content. I recommend it; it's surprising how many sites I've disabled JS on, and left that way because there's no major breakage.
