Works ok for a casual test.  I have no acount so I have no idea how it
would work for posting, though.

Same for me.  (The Firefox-ESR was the "current" version for Debian Jessie).   

"Works best with _javascript_" could turn into "Requires _javascript_"
from one release to the next, though.

True enough!   But I want to test Discourse  *with*  _javascript_, so that I understand the difference.  My "safe test bed"?  A Debian Buster Gnome Live-DVD, and *its* version of Firefox.  

Okay:  *THAT* version of Discourse had about 3 or 4 times longer page than I remember without _javascript_.  So yes, Discourse is based, quite heavily on _javascript_.

So I would say that, since the "NoScript" version of Discourse was a Skeleton of a page, tells me that it "Requires _javascript_".
