How do I turn on JavaScript support?

How can JavaScript turn off by itself? How do I find it to turn it back on?

  • I had audio all day, but when I went to YouTube recently I received a message that I needed to update Flash or else I had JavaScript off. I went ahead and downloaded Flash again, but still have no audio. Can someone help me?
