In the address bar, type: about:config and press Enter. Click "I'll be careful, I promise" if a warning message appears.

In the search box, search for javascript.enabled

Toggle the "javascript.enabled" preference (right-click and select "Toggle" or double-click the preference) to change the value from "false" to "true".

Look at the top right corner of your first screenshot and think hard what to do.

Note, Java is something completely different than Javascript.

I'm not sure what Java version you need for the Intel® Driver Update Utility. Firefox is a 32-bit application and thus only work with the 32-bit Java version that you do appear to have installed as it shows in the System Details list.

It is possible that the Intel® Driver Update Utility won't work with Firefox if it uses the default browser.


Note that there has been a change in the Java security settings, see:

If you visit a website regularly then a possible workaround is to add the URL to the Java Exceptions Site List, see:

vasilsi, in your second image you circled the "Download the ActiveX/java Installer" when that was listed under part for Internet Explorer. The ActiveX Plugins will only work on Internet Explorer since no other browser supports ActiveX.
