Enabling JavaScript in Mozilla Firefox

See the original at mozilla.org

JavaScript is a scripting language commonly used to construct web pages. Programmers use JavaScript to make web pages more interactive; for example, to display forms and buttons. Disabling JavaScript may cause some sites not to work properly, including this one.

While it is usually recommended to keep JavaScript enabled, there are some functions that you may want to disable. Click the Advanced… button to display these options.

• Allow scripts to:
  Move or resize existing windows
  • Uncheck this option to disable moving and resizing windows using scripts.
• Raise or lower windows
  • Uncheck this option to make sure scripts cannot raise or lower windows.
• Disable or replace context menus
• Uncheck this option to prevent web pages from disabling or changing the Firefox context menu.
• Hide the status bar
  • Uncheck this option to force the status bar to be displayed in popup windows.
• Change status bar text
  • Uncheck this option to disable annoying status bar text scrolling and Web address hiding.
• Change images
  • Uncheck this option to disable changing of images. Disabling this can make some menus a bit harder to navigate.

The options displayed here are certainly not all of them. You can also make sure all popup windows are resizable, minimizable, and that the menu and toolbar is always displayed. All of these options are available on the Tips & Tricks page.
