Hi Aaron, thank you for the questions: '''(1) Is JavaScript enabled?''' About half the web will complain if JavaScript is disabled. Unless you are seeing the message all over the place, it's probably caused by something else, such as Tracking Protection, an ad blocker, or a privacy add-on: (A) The shield icon toward the left end of the address bar usually turns a bit purplish when content is blocked. Click the icon to learn more or make an exception. See: [[Enhanced Tracking Protection in Firefox for desktop]]. (B) Extensions such as Adblock Plus, Blur, Disconnect, DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials, Ghostery, NoScript, Privacy Badger, uBlock Origin or uMatrix usually provide a toolbar button to manage blocked content in a page. There may or may not be a number on the icon indicating the number of blocked items; you sometimes need to click the button to see what's going on and test whether you need to make an exception for this site. Does that make any difference on the problem site? '''(2) Disabling URL bar search''' If you enter something that looks like a web address -- like example.com -- Firefox should always try the address instead of searching. You can try disabling address bar searching and see whether that was the problem, or whether something else is going on. Here's how: (A) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button accepting the risk. ''More info on about:config:'' [[Configuration Editor for Firefox]]. ''The moderators would like us to remind you that changes made through this back door aren't fully supported and aren't guaranteed to continue working in the future.'' (B) In the search box in the page, type or paste '''keyword.enabled''' and pause while the list is filtered (C) Double-click the preference to switch the value from true to false Any difference? Note that if you click a search engine button, Firefox can still search (the engine name normally will appear at the left of the bar in that case).
