Was searching internet for information and received a notice that Javascript had been deleted and/or was unavailable. Advised to go to about:config and follow the instructions to restore it. I go there and get nothing on restoring; but several items telling what about:config is and how to use it; which just keeps me cycling through. I use duck duck go as my search engine. I also recently updated Firefox. How can I get Javascript restored so I can get the information I'm looking for. I'm using an Samsung android cellphone.

Hi,

JavaScript is enabled by default in Firefox. However, some websites may display a message saying that JavaScript is required or ask you to make sure that JavaScript is enabled, which can make it seem like JavaScript may not be working in your browser. In most cases, this happens because a content-blocking extension is interfering with JavaScript.

In that situation, you may need to review your extensions, especially those related to privacy or ad blocking, by adjusting their settings or by temporarily disabling them to identify the issue.

If you find that a specific extension is causing the problem, it's best to contact the developer or visit the extension's support page for help.

Otherwise, you may also check if Enhanced Tracking Protection may have caused it by disabling it temporarily. (This also could be a problem with duck duck go. Try using another engine.)
