Hi all

I'm a happy user of FF but have started to see issues with JavaScript (error message: You need to enable JavaScript to run this app.). I do the about:config correction and it sometimes works, but now the error is spreading to involve other pages - a page worked yesterday doesn't work today.

Is it just me?

Hi

If you disable the Disable Javascript add-on, you should find that you do not see the error message you are seeing when you visit some web sites.

Hi

You should not need to change anything in about:config for this. Do you have any add-ons installed in Firefox?
