I have WINDOWS 8 (for 2 weeks) , Firefox v18. I try to use a banking site that demands javascript but when I try to use the site, I get "javascript not working (or available). If I go into Youtube , any video I pick fails to run - instead I get flashing video screen I have set Javascript enabled but no difference. can anyone point me in right direction . I have reloaded Firefox and reset it - problem still exists
