Would you like to activate JavaScript in Firefox? We'll show you how..
JavaScript is a programming language that can be used to optimize websites. JavaScript can be activated and deactivated manually in the browser. In the following instructions we will show you how to activate JavaScript for Mozilla Firefox. That in itself is quite simple.
Many websites are programmed in HTML and JavaScript. The JavaScript parts are then inserted into the basic HTML structure. The browser of the page visitor then executes the formatting and commands programmed with JaveScript so that the page can be displayed correctly. The advertising on most websites is also programmed in JavaScript. One might think that turning off JavaScript could replace an ad blocker. But if JavaScript is deactivated, not only will the advertising no longer be displayed, but also large parts of the website. For this reason, it makes sense and, on some pages, it is essential that JavaScript is activated. However, due to the complexity of the programming language, there is also a potential source of danger in JavaScript. If JavaScript is active in the browser, all programmed commands of a website are executed. For a "drive-by infection" it is sufficient to briefly call up a page with malicious code and then close it again immediately. This is exactly the reason why unknown links, for example from spam mails, should not be clicked on. But you don't have to worry too much: as long as you have found out about phishing emails and use a usable anti-virus scanner, you are relatively well protected.
