Personally, I am not with or against this change, but here's their
rationale http://limi.net/checkboxes-that-kill

They really downplay the extra security risk of enabling javascript. And they really are placing the blame in the wrong place, very few web sites really need to require javascript. It would have been nicer to see Mozilla push back against sites requiring javascript to function rather than to make it harder for people to reduce their risk of getting owned.

The images block is even stranger. Many sites look a lot better without images. And it needs to be a really badly designed web page to break when images are not loaded.
