Firefox 3.6 and JavaScript
Posted in Firefox on February 5th, 2010 by Saba – 16 CommentsI have Firefox 3.6 on a Windows XP SP3 computer. The Anti-Virus/Anti-Spyware installed is ZoneAlarm Security Suite v. 9.
I am unable to read an online newspaper using Firefox but I have no problem doing it with Internet Explorer 8. What should happen under normal circumstances is that when I login a new window should open up (via JavaScript, I guess) and then I would be able to read the newspaper. No such new window opens when I use Firefox and I am stuck at the login screen. If I then close Firefox, the program still runs in memory and have to resort to Ctrl+Alt+Del in order to terminate firefox.exe, otherwise I cannot restart Firefox.
I am not by any means an expert, so I am not quite sure that this problem is between Firefox and JavaScript, but it seems strange that I do not have the same problem with Internet Explorer 8. I have of course made sure that there is a check mark under Options –> Content –> Enable JavaScript. I have also tried turning off ZoneAlarm but the result is the same. I have another PC with the same configuration and it exhibits the same problem…
I am hoping that perhaps somebody else has run into this problem and found a solution to post.
