Javascript suddenly disabled (Linux)

Post by pwabrahams »

Something has happened that caused Javascript to be disabled. about:config shows javascript.enabled to be true, yet I still have been notified by several apps that it is disabled. How can I re-enable it?

Have an extension that may be affecting things?

Restart in Safe Mode & see if those same "apps" still show it to be disabled.

I tried disabling all extensions, then re-enabling them one by one. That seems to have solved the problem, but I don't know why.

If one of your add-ons or extensions is an ad blocker or you have your settings in Firefox to strict this could also cause the javascript notice.
