I have the PrefBar extension installed for SeaMonkey. I use the JavaScript checkbox to disable JavaScript whenever I view the Huffington Post, not because of what happens to navigation arrows but because of the annoying same-window popups. I also disable JavaScript for several other news Web sites for the same reason. The only problem is remembering to enable JavaScript before I visit a page where it is really needed. -- David E.
