Definitely. It's also useful for blocking other obnoxious stuff like 
emoticons or avatars in those phpBB forums.

Yes, disabling site-by-site is a major feature of NoScript. NoScript 
places an icon on the status bar. Clicking that icon will show a pop up 
menu, where you can choose which scripts to enable (by site), and if you 
want to do it permanently. I don't know how it plays with QuickJava, 
Java applets, or Flash.

My only concern with NoScript is, enabling a site reloads all tabs 
containing a script from that site. Oh, and by default, it shows some 
sort of GUI animation when loading a site with blocked scripts. But you 
can disable it.
