ally bank would not even let me try to log in, their site says they use Java, DOM and Java Script and that my browser (Firefox) does not support these. I have reloaded firefox several times I do not know how to enable these languages. thanks for your help

For JavaScript

For Java, verify if you have Java:

if not download

watch out for crapware installation of the Yahoo Toolbar being packaged with Java (picture).

OK I have it --how do you turn it own so Firefox knows it's there and/or activates it?

Thanks JohnMTO
