How to fix the "You need to enable JavaScript to run this app" message
Feb 23rd 2026
That message appears when a website needs JavaScript to load interactive content; follow quick browser steps or check blockers to restore functionality safely.
- The message means the site relies on JavaScript, a browser feature that runs code to render interactive pages.
- JavaScript is enabled in your browser settings by default, but it can be turned off or blocked by extensions or policies.
- To enable JavaScript in Chrome, go to Settings, Privacy and security, Site settings, then JavaScript and allow the site.
- In Firefox, type about:config or use Preferences, Privacy & Security, Permissions to manage scripts and extensions that block them.
- On mobile, check the browser app settings and any content blocker or privacy app that can disable scripts.
- Only enable JavaScript on sites you trust and disable or restrict it if extensions or policies force it off for security or privacy reasons.
