I,m using Vista. A web site I use regularly, wikifonia,net, is suddenly not displaying all the information; telling me either java script is turned off, or my flash player is out of date. I've updated flash player, without success. How do I know if java script is "turned off"?

Your More system details list shows that you have the Flash player, so Flash should be working.


It is possible that you have an extension that blocks JavaScript.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

  • Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
