Java in FF is only used when the site uses it as of now FF doesn't have Java in itself. So is your Google Map a addon or Windows store App?

I Firefox JavaScript is enabled by default. Java is not JavaScript ... confusing, I know.

The poster was referring to https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/

And once again http://kb.mozillazine.org/JavaScript_is_not_Java

if only the JavaScript kept the original name of LiveScript so people would not confuse the Java and JavaScript.
