There appears to be no option to enable Javascript in Firefox on Linux Mint 17.2. I need Javascript on in order to authenticate on a network. Thanks!

Simply do the following:

  1. Go to about:config in Firefox
  2. Locate the javascript.enabled boolean
  3. Change the value to true
  4. Restart Firefox

This should enable Javascript again. If it doesn't, please let us know.

It comes in enabled, normally, heh. You should install NoScript for more direct control.
