Under about:config in firefox, I see "javascript.enabled true". It says here: https://www.lighthouselabs.ca/en/blog/10-popular-websites-built-using-javascript that Google, Youtube, Wikipedia, Amazon, and eBay all use JavaScript. All of those sites work well here, except for the two Google subdivisions mentioned above. ________________________________________ From: Greg Wooledge <g...@wooledge.org> Sent: Saturday, July 31, 2021 11:38 PM To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: Re: Google sites don't work On Sat, Jul 31, 2021 at 08:54:12PM +0000, Kleene, Steven (kleenesj) wrote: > My home desktop is running Buster (4.19.0-17-amd64) and firefox-esr > 78.12.0esr-1~deb10u1.

My guess is that you somehow disabled Javascript, either by clicking something in the configuration screen (or fat-fingering some magical keyboard equivalent), or by installing an add-on like NoScript.
