How to Disable JavaScript in WebDriver when automating in Selenium?

Question

I am currently trying to write a test that tests the non-JS version of my website. I use Selenium with Java. I have tried this:

 FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile();
 profile.setPreference("javascript.enabled", false);
 driver = new FirefoxDriver(profile);
 driver.get();

However this isn't working. It just loads the page with JavaScript Enabled.

As a workaround I did, this, for the requirement.
It will manually set the javascript.enabled property to false by the following script.

    WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
    driver.get("about:config");
    Actions act = new Actions(driver);
    act.sendKeys(Keys.RETURN).sendKeys("javascript.enabled").perform();
    act.sendKeys(Keys.TAB).sendKeys(Keys.RETURN).perform();
