I'm used to the Instrument List of previous versions where there were Mute All and Mute None buttons. I don't see them in the Score Manager or Studio View. Are they gone, or I just don't see them?

I don't know about the score manager or the studio view, but the mixer (ctrl+shift+m) has a mute button on the master slider.

In the Score Manager of FIN25 or 25,1 this feature is back. Click on the header: M the whole column is muted, S it is solo. In 2014 they were gone unfortunately.

Even though the columns show in 2014.5, clicking on the M or S at the top of the column does nothing. In 25.2, the option to Mute All or None and Solo All or None feature was reinstated, as mentioned by Lothar. In 2014.5, Harpsi mentioned the only option for this feature is available in the mixer.

Thanks, all. The mixer does what I want. I'm not just turning everything on and off, but am using All/None to quickly effect certain subsets. But as the result of this discussion I've learned that the previously mysterious Solo buttons are helpful there, too!

The usually thorough and helpful Finale contextual help is terrible for the Score Manager! Just a picture of the page. Someone got lazy.
