When File Explorer of Windows 11 25H2 tries to access and open an icon-file in the FF (144-64bit) profile's 'shortcutcache' folder, explorer gets Access Denied. The account running Firefox has admin rights.
Looking to the ACL of the profile folder containing the folder 'shortcutcache' show no reason for the blocking. Trying this with a new profile did not help.
I took the free Windows 11 upgrade. Mozilla FF thinks I'm on Windows 10.

Firefox recently sent out its monthly newsletter (Oct '25) with all sorts of options that can be enabled on Firefox. I'm a computer illiterate & foolishly chose some of the options -- don't remember which nor know how to discover them.
Now javascript is no longer enabled on my MacBook Air (macOs Big Sur 11.7.10). I cannot access my protonmail account and many many other sites.
I've gone cross-eyed accessing "fixes" that are labelled "only for advanced users" & am bright enough to not even try.
Is there a simple fix (short of wiping my computer -- with data going back 11 years) that even I can do?
