I was/am using Firefox and Google(not chrome)

That sounds like something Google search might display occasionally if your requests look "bot-like".

In Firefox, JavaScript is enabled by default. If you changed that setting (through the about:config page), about half the web would be telling you about it. If you only see that kind of message from time to time, it probably is something else.

Do you use any add-ons that block scripts? That might be something like NoScript which blocks ALL scripts or any kind of privacy add-on, ad blocker, etc., that selectively blocks scripts.

Yes , I use adblock , gohstery , sponserblock , adblockplus . I tried to turn them off one at a time but that didn't work . Thank You for responding , I'm not very computer savy so these little setbacks are hard to understand

You need to disable them all at once as it is possible that another takes over when you disable one and starts blocking content. You may even have to disable Firefox Enhanced Tracking Protection as well via the shield icon at the left end of the location bar.
