<Solved> You must turn on JavaScript to continue. . How?

Unread post by Uppity » 2014-09-23, 23:45

That is the error message from one site and another just doesn't work.

How should I proceed, here.?
There doesn't seem to be an option in Preferences, to turn on Java.

Code: Select all

 
Plugins: 
IcedTeaPlugin.so
libflashplayer.so 
I'm not sure about following the advice in this post, by access2godzilla
to set things up

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/palemoon
:
http://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php ... 805#p25195

Code: Select all

 bash: cd: /usr/lib64: No such file or directory 
These are the two pertinent folders in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins:

Code: Select all

 
Location: /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
Name: flashplugin-alternative.so
Type: Link to Unknown (application/x-sharedlib)
Link Target: /etc/alternatives/mozilla-flashplugin

These are the two pertinent folders in /etc/alternatives:

Java != Javascript.

To enable Javascript, flip the pref javascript.enabled in about:config.

To add Java to the list of plugins, put a statement like this in /etc/profile:

Code: Select all

export MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH=/path/to/custom/dir:/another/one[:/yet/another/path]...

You make this stuff look so easy... :mrgreen:

I was in about:config earlier, but never thought to enter 'javascript'.

I just copied and pasted all of that code to /etc/profile.

The two main problem sites now appear to be working as advertised.
And inserting the code tags with the code button, works on this site, too.

Thank you, access2godzilla.
