I believe so; you would probably get the source deb and build it
yourself with JS configured.

I rarely have any real problems with FF (IW); most of my difficulties
derive from the fact that I am unwilling to install Flash, but my
impression from this list is that there's actually quite good Flash
support via the flash plugin, at least on i386 and possibly other
architectures that can use some sort of wrapper. What sites give you
trouble with FF?

That's fine if your router runs Openwrt; mine (Trendnet TEW-452BRP)
isn't listed as supported (but it's also not on the unsupported page).
