On this particular site the Log In section calls javascript: show_login_popup[]. This has stopped working, it always used to.

If it is any consolation it won't work on IE or Google Chrome either.

I have reinstalled Java and have confirmed that it is working okay.

I use Kaspersky Internet Security (firewall).

To avoid confusion: http://kb.mozillazine.org/JavaScript_is_not_Java See JavaScript settings and preferences for interactive web pages and http://kb.mozillazine.org/JavaScript

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes). See Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems and Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems

If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears. You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window to disable all extensions. You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Thank you.

I have disabled all plug ins and extensions in Safe Mode, but to no avail. It still doesn't work.

Any other suggestions ?
