Sometimes a website will say that JavaScript seems to be disabled even when it is enabled. Possible causes for this are:

  • A script that starts a plugin, such as Flash, is not working, and the script simply identifies the problem incorrectly
  • An add-on is filtering the page, for example, blocking some scripts or ads, and another script in the page detects the missing element and identifies the problem incorrectly
  • An external program such as a security suite is selectively blocking some scripts, and another script in the page detects the missing element and identifies the problem incorrectly

You can check that JavaScript is enabled and isn't blocked.

  • javascript.enabled should be true on the about:config page

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.


Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
