It would help to know what address that was.

Maybe you mistyped it.

Hi   !

Is the full message :

"The address wasn’t understood Firefox doesn’t know how to open this address, because one of the following protocols (javascript) isn’t associated with any program or is not allowed in this context. You might need to install other software to open this address."


If so, would you do this please : Type in the address bar   about:config  (press Enter) (promise to be careful, if asked) And type and look for the preference : network.protocol-handler.external.javascript and make sure that its value is set to   false   (= default)
