I think it is highly likely that NetSurf 3.0 has been built without
JavaScript support. This would explain the persistent disabling of
JavaScript on startup. When JavaScript is enabled, the blank page on
JavaScript tester is a result of the browser thinking it supports
JavaScript (so the <noscript> section gets ignored), but not supporting
JavaScript (so the expected text does not get printed, as it uses
JavaScript to print that text.

The only bug here is that the "Disable JavaScript" choices option should
not be available in builds that do not support JavaScript.
