I have Javascript active in my settings.Yet.Every time I try to open something it says Javascript is not active.And it's necessary for this application or whatever to run

Cory “CASH” Mansour

So what exactly should I do to rectify this problem . I just to reiterate the problem is that applications will not open when I try to open them.Because it says the Javascript is not running.Yeah, my setting. It says it is everything is updated and up to date so i'm lost on what to do.

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.

If the above doesn't help, could you please share some examples of the websites you experience trouble with?
