Update Avast Firefox Extension: How to Enable JavaScript

Mozilla Firefox is known for its default setting of enabling JavaScript for all websites. However, if you have disabled JavaScript using a browser add-on that allows customization of JavaScript settings, you may need to re-enable it to ensure smooth browsing and functionality of certain web applications.

One such example is the Avast Store, which relies on enabled JavaScript and cookies to function correctly. If you receive a notification prompting you to enable these settings when making a purchase through the Avast Store, this article will guide you through the process of enabling them in your Firefox browser.

To do so, follow these steps:

1. Click the three horizontal lines at the top right corner of your Firefox browser window and select Options.

2. In the Options menu, navigate to the Privacy & Security tab.

3. Under Cookies and Site Data, click the Manage Data button.

4. In the Cookie Manager window, locate the entry for 'avast.com' (or any other website that is giving you trouble) and click the Allow button next to it.

Alternatively, if you want to enable JavaScript only for specific websites within a domain, follow these steps:

1. Click the three horizontal lines at the top right corner of your Firefox browser window and select Options.

2. In the Options menu, navigate to the Privacy & Security tab.

3. Under Content Blocking, click the Exceptions button.

4. In the Exceptions window, enter the domain name you want to allow JavaScript for (e.g., 'avast.com') in the Address field and click the Allow button.

By following these simple steps, you should be able to enable JavaScript and cookies in your Firefox browser, allowing you to access the Avast Store and other websites that rely on these settings.
