Selections from new (i.e., October 2025) Firefox newsletter/information screwed with my javascript -- I no longer have javascript! I'm an 80-year old computer illiterate. How do I restore javascript?
Firefox recently sent out its monthly newsletter (Oct '25) with all sorts of options that can be enabled on Firefox. I'm a computer illiterate & foolishly chose some of the options -- don't remember which nor know how to discover them.
Now javascript is no longer enabled on my MacBook Air (macOs Big Sur 11.7.10). I cannot access my protonmail account and many many other sites.
I've gone cross-eyed accessing "fixes" that are labelled "only for advanced users" & am bright enough to not even try.
Is there a simple fix (short of wiping my computer -- with data going back 11 years) that even I can do?
If you have "fixing your firefox for Dummies" then please email me with a solution. [edited email from public community support forum]

Are you getting a message specifically telling you JavaScript is disabled on these websites? You might want to try accessing them on a different browser (such as Safari) to verify that it's Firefox that's the issue.
One thing you might try is refreshing Firefox. That will reset various preferences to default while retaining your bookmarks, passwords and history. Do note that it will remove any extensions or custom themes you have installed (among other things), so you may want to carefully review the linked article and make a list of any of those items you may currently have so you can reinstall them after refreshing.
