Turning JavaScript On in Firefox

[BobH]

I keep getting nags from websites that say I cannot view content without JavaScript enabled.

I searched and found a solution that says that one must go into about:config and change the JavaScript Enabled option to True.

I did that but still get the nags and miss content.

What besides this . . .

must I change to enable JavaScript in Firefox 50.0 in Win7?

Do you have an extension that blocks JavaScript by default, such as NoScript?

[BobH]

Yes, I have NoScript. I tried to find information about enabling only JavaScript in NoScript but could find nothing.

[HansV]

The default use for NoScript is to allow JavaScript on a site-by-site basis. When you visit a site on which NoScript blocks JavaScript, you can allow that site, or all components of that site, either temporarily or permanently:

If you want to whitelist all top-level sites that you visit temporarily, click the NoScript button and select Options...
Activate the General tab, and tick the corresponding check box:

Then click OK.
This is less secure than whitelisting individual sites, of course.

Thanks, Hans!

I don't know what I did to start this behavior. I didn't have this problem with the JS nags until recently (last few weeks).

I'll take care of white listing each site I visit often.
