Not exactly. Upstream intended the security slider to be set at Standard 
and the behavior to be Javascript mostly on.

However, some TB versions (I experienced tihs under whonix-14 at least) has 
an issue, where while it defaults to the "Standard" setting as per 
upstream, TB acted as if set to the "Safest" setting. This appears to be a 
TB bug.

Manually adjusting the setting back and forth in firefox preferences fixes 
the issue for that session, but the problem appears again on restart.

Under whonix-15, the whonix developers have inserted a presetting question 
on startup allowing you to choose what you want the default on startup to 
be, and the bug where the setting is one way, and the buggy behavior above 
does not seem to be present. 

You still have to set it again each time a disposable VM starts, but it's 
more straightforward, at least in my opinion.
