In Content I have checked the box to enable Java Script but still this site and several others tell me I do not have Java Script enabled so can't see all the content. Where else might i enable Java Script. I am a new user of Win7 Pro so perhaps that is the problem?

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