How do I enable Javascript in Foxfire 29.0? about:config does not work.
I've just downloaded the newest available Foxfire (29.0) in the hope I can access my gmail account. But it still says "Javascript is not enabled". about:config does NOT show a preferences menu, so I can't toggle Javascript on. I tried downloading add-ons to toggle Javascript on/off, but they are not compatible with Firefox 29.0.
Must I stop using Firefox altogether? I cannot access my banks, my credit cards, or my gmail accounts, nor can I access YouTube. This is all I use my browser for -- so Firefox is no longer useful to me, unless you can give me a fix for this!

Resetting Firefox should fix this. Instructions for that are here: Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings.
Let me know how it goes,

You can toggle JavaScript off/on by toggling the javascript.enabled on the about:config page.
This solution worked . . . because I accidently opened Firefox into the home page for Firefox -- and it showed an orange 'Firefox' in the destination field. I couldn't get that to show in previous attempts -- probably because I launched directly to the Mozilla site.
If you don't have that 'Firefox' in the front of the destination, the command about:config doesn't work.
Thank you.
This solution didn't work, because the page was redirecting and never arrived. It might have been because I was using Internet Explorer, which also is not Javascript enabled -- but the Mozilla Support Forum requires Javascript enabled in order to access it!
I used Chrome, and was able to toggle it when the about:config field finally opened. The originally posted instructions omitted the instruction that the command about:config will only work if you do it from the Firefox home screen, where the orange word 'Firefox' appears at the beginning of the destination.
Hi Stromie, normally about:config can be opened in any existing tab or in a new tab (after typing about:config, press Alt+Enter to load the URL in a new tab). I'm not sure why yours is restricted. It's probably worth investigating further if other pages you use more often are affected.
