How To Enable Javascript In Firefox 23

In Firefox 23, as part of an effort to simplify the Firefox options set and protect users from unintentially damaging their Firefox, the option to disable JavaScript was removed from the Firefox Options window.

However, the option to disable JavaScript was not removed from Firefox entirely. You can still access it from about:config or by installing an add-on.

about:config

1. In the address bar, type "about:config" (with no quotes), and press Enter.
2. Click "I'll be careful, I promise"
3. In the search bar, search for "javascript.enabled" (with no quotes).
4. Right click the result named "javascript.enabled" and click "Toggle". JavaScript is now disabled.

To Re-enable JavaScript, repeat these steps.

Add-ons

You can alternatively install an add-on that lets you disable JavaScript, such as

• No-Script (to disable JavaScript on a per page basis, as required)
• QuickJava (to easily disable and enable JavaScript, automatic loading of images, and other content)
