JavaScript and site opening, glitches

more options

On Win11.64, I noticed some weeks ago Firefox refusing to automatically open sites. I’ve also sites telling me that JavaScript is disabled. But javascript.enabled = true, in settings. I’ve renamed the folder to Firefox.old, and installed a fresh copy—though then ported bookmarks, etc. Same issues. I’ve cleared the cache. Same issues. Firefox in Private Window mode works fine. Any kindly help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hey mallon, I'm 100% sure this to be the fault of the NoScript addon. While it is an awesome addon, you have to be extremely careful with it. It can really mess up your web experience if you don't know how to use it.

Try disabling it and retesting your sites and let us know if they work now. Thanks.

To disable your addons: Disable or remove Add-ons It will be in your Add-ons section named NoScript 11.4.42
