Netflix says it requires javascript which I can't enable

There is no red plugin symbol to allow me to enable for the site alone and when I try to enable on the add-ons drop down menu I am only given the options to 'always ask' or 'never enable'. I receive this message on Netflix every time I attempt to play a video "The Netflix video player requires Javascript. Please enable that feature in your browser settings and reload this page."

Thank you. I am moderately tech illiterate. Now Netflix tells me silverlight is not installed, I attempt to reinstall and I am told I already have it. Can this be fixed in a similar way (enabling true)?

Thank You. I found the 'reset firefox' option and it solved the silverlight problem. =)
