Websites on Firefox Android tell to "enable java." Can't find on 'Settings' menu or Extensions.

Several websites I've visited on my Firefox-Android browser generate a popup message that requires me to "enable java script" if I want to gain access. All FAQ I've searched so far says that Firefox enables Java by default. When I navigate to 'site settings' on the Android app settings menu there are no adjustments one can make at all. So . . . (1) Is Java enabled by default on the Firefox Android browser, and (2) Would any kind soul who knows what's wrong clue me in, regardless? Much thanks in advance!

Hi Daniel, sites might display that message when one of their scripts isn't loaded or doesn't run correctly. Two common reasons for that would be:

(A) Tracking Protection - this built-in feature may block scripts from tracking servers. See: Enhanced Tracking Protection in Firefox for Android.

(B) Add-ons, such as ad blockers. Check menu > Extensions > [extension name] to see what is being blocked and whether you can make an exception.

Was either of those relevant?

To 'jscher2000' – Thanks very much for your answer. Your suggestion was spot-on. I hadn't realized previously that one of my installed extensions – the 'NoScript Security Suite' – was blocking Java by default. I also didn't realize then that I could disable the Java blocking on a per-website basis so that I didn't have to remove the entire extension to re-enable limited use of Java. I do appreciate your response – thanks again!
