Javascript interpretation in the URL box doesn't work any more.
Firefox was updated on my computer yesterday, 8/18/11. The feature that permitted Javascript be copied into the URL-finding box and run no longer works.
I notice the error on http://www.ironsudoku.com/. The following Javascript is supposed to put little green numbers into the empty cells:
javascript: void((function() { if(window) { var js=document.createElement("SCRIPT"); js.src="http://www.brittlefish.com/code/isie.js"; document.getElementsByTagName("HEAD")[0].appendChild(js); setTimeout(fn=function() { try { gautofill(); } catch(e) { setTimeout( "fn()", 10 ); } } , 1 ); } } )())
It doesn't work since the Firefox update. Other people have remarked on the same issue.
Wot cor-el

This was an intentional change to prevent some attacks that tricked users into pasting malicious JavaScript into the address bar: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=656433
You can still run JavaScript snippets by pasting them in the built-in Web Console.
I think that it should also be working as a (keyword) bookmark with the JavaScript set as the location.
