I had to add Javascript because one of my accounts need Javascript to open. After installing Javascript and allowing for all to be 'true', I still get this message when I try to open a 'show blocked content' in my email.

"The address wasn’t understood

Firefox doesn’t know how to open this address, because one of the following protocols (javascript) isn’t associated with any program or is not allowed in this context. 

   You might need to install other software to open this address."

I never had any problem before installing Javascript. Thanks for any solutions.

Hi, JavaScript is built-in, you do not need to add on JavaScript. What did you install, exactly?

Sometimes sites use a link that starts with javascript: to run a script when you click that link. This kind of link only works in the context of the page and can't be opened outside the page like a normal https: link.
