"Notice! You are seeing this page instead of our normal homepage

Asking the obvious questions, Have you got JavaScript installed and
does SM have it enabled and know where to look for it??

How do I know if Java Script is installed? I know it is enabled via
Preferences/Advanced/Scripts&Plugins. I also know that when I get the
message "Unable to process JavaScript" that if I click on Noscript
and click on "Temporarily allow all this page" that the Unable to
process disappears.

Should I be installing Java Script independently? It doesn't show in
Add-ons Manager.

JavaScript is integral with all modern browsers. You cannot "install" it
separately; it's already there. You can't "uninstall" it either.

You can enable/disable it of course. In fact, I'd say there is some
NoScript issue with the page in question. Seems apparent that NoScript
is blocking something there.

Dan may have been thinking of Java -- which is a completely different
item, sharing nothing more than the first four letters of the name.

(JavaScript is one word with the capital S)

I wouldn't rule out the possibility that the complaining website(s) is (are) mistaken. It wouldn't be the first time that a webmaster wrote bad code that generated a false error message. I've been told by various websites lots of times that I didn't have things that I had, or that my version of something was too old when my actual version was brand new, and so forth.
