When Java was having security problems, I was attempting to remove it from my computer, during the process, I deleted Javascript and now some web sites aren't fully functional. Is there a way to get Javascript back without having to remove and reinstall Firefox?

hello nocsra, javascript is deeply embedded into firefox - you can't just delete it.

please enter about:config into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up), search for the preference named javascript.enabled and make sure that it is set to true.

in addition please make sure that you're not using addons like noscript that might be blocking the execution of JS on certain pages.
