there is a lot of confusion in that text.
- IE (Internet Explorer) is a browser, not a search engine (though a browser tends to have a search bar which is connected to a default search engine, for IE that could be bing)
- it’s Firefox, not foxfire
- you can disable/enable scripting in the browser’s preferences
- your computer hardware has nothing to do with the JavaScript issue
- holes and malware are a completely different topic
- do not trust what a website tells you without proper checkup
To enable JavaScript in Firefox, go to Preferences > Content* (?) > check the "enable JavaScript" checkbox.
* - in my FF that’s the 3rd tab -
I have javascript disabled and enable it on a per site basis.Comment
