Thanks for the good idea, but it appears to not be the case. 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.

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.
