All of my websites say I don't have Javascript enabled. I tried going into Firefox-->Preferences-->Content, and there is no "Javascript" listed. I also tried removing firefox from my mac and redownloading it, which didn't help. Can anyone help?

You can no longer toggle JavaScript on/off via the user interface, You need to do this via a pref on the about:config page.

You can check if JavaScript is enabled and isn't blocked. The javascript.enabled pref on the about:config page should be true.

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

See also:

If the pref is set to true and you still get this error message then check your extensions.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
