In the Options menu Javascript is ticked as enabled, but it isn't(it used to be) therefore I cannot do certain things on some websites.I have the latest version of Firefox.I do use NoScript to make the Internet open faster, has this affected it?

Chosen solution

I would disable this NoScript add-on, (and any other add-0ns you think may be effecting this) and see if Javascript functions as it should. If it does perform as it should then it would be safe to assume that NoScript is causing the issues you are seeing. I would visit the add-ons website for additional support for this problem if you want to continue using this add-on, or you can leave the add-on disabled.

NoScript disables JavaScript by default, so you need to allow each site that you visit to use JavaScript.
