This is a firefox plugin that allows you to disable javascript site-by-site.

Will this help?

I'd like you to be more specific, so that I can understand what causes
you problems and what is okay.

The phrase "ajax-related" isn't actually a technical term... it's more
of a buzz-word.  So, for all the Javascript that Launchpad uses, I can't
say "this part is ajax-related" and "this other part is not ajax-related".
