  • Google now requires javascript

    I just fired up Classilla for the first time in ages, headed to Google to
    hunt out a link, but when I clicked the search button I was redirected to
    a page telling me to enable Javascript to continue to use Google...

    I went into Classilla's settings and the few javascript related options
    were already enabled, so I'm stumped. Is it no longer possible to use
    Google with Classilla? I am using Mac OS 9.2.2.

    It's not the end of the world, as I then fired up Netscape Communicator
    4.77 and that works absolutely fine with Google! I was able to search and
    find the info I wanted.

    I hate having to use Google on my Tiger system but all the other SE suggestions in a thread I started in here a year ago either quit
    working for me or never did that well.
