How do you reset/repair javascripts? Enabling doesn't seem to work

more options

When I enter various websites, they list an advisory message that I must enable javascripts in order to use their sites. When I enable javascripts from the contents section from tools in firefox, it doesn't seem to work. How can I reset or repair the javascripts function in the firefox program to allow me to access and use various websites?

The website you mentioned http://www.arbitersports.com is opening fine (see attached screenshot) without any error messages or warnings on my Win Xp & Firefox 9.0.1..

-> Use the Java plugin to view interactive content on websites

-> Perform the suggestions mentioned in the following articles:

Check and tell if its working.

There is no reset or repair for JavaScript, re-install Firefox - but don't delete your Firefox user data and customizations when you un-install what you now have installed.
