Disable javascript and images with a single click in Mozilla Firefox
Several releases ago, Mozilla abandoned the GUI option to disable JavaScript in Firefox. I used this feature a lot and was not happy to see it removed. That is because there are still many sites with annoying popups, or some which prevent you from copying the web page text or from right clicking. Also some badly coded web pages with JavaScript slow down Firefox to a crawl or consume a tremendous amount of memory. In all these cases, you were able to disable JavaScript from Firefox options, but now it's no longer easily possible. Instead, you are forced to open about:config to disable it. Today, I would like to share a fast and convenient way to disable JavaScript and images quickly.

Delete Windows.old folder in Windows 10
If you choose to install Windows 10 on the same drive where an existing installation is already present, the setup program will create a folder named Windows.old in the root of the drive. This folder will contain a full backup of a previous installation of Windows 8 or Windows 7, including the boot manager and installed apps. This is very handy if you plan to uninstall the currently installed Windows version and return to the previously installed release. It can also be useful if you forgot to transfer some files or settings to the new installation. However, if you are already finished with the migration, then Windows.old just wastes your disk space for no reason. Here is how you should delete it and why it is better to use the built-in OS tools instead of simply deleting the folder from Explorer.
