The thing I would try is disabling all of the plugins. If Javascript works after that then re-enable the plugins one by one and see which one is the culprit.</p> <p>I use Chrome most of the time. Chrome and Safari share (mostly) the same internal engine and I find that they generally do a better job of rendering websites than Firefox. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/problem-with-java-on-firefox-240-affects-picture-uploading-picture-viewing-and-other-things#post-1034862 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 16:12:15 +0000 Diana 1034862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, this is interesting.&nbsp; My work laptop has just updated its firefox as well and everything is working fine on that computer.&nbsp; It is a newer model Macbook pro but is running the same system configuration (10.6.8).&nbsp; I have <i>more</i> plugins on the work computer too.&nbsp; </p> <p>So confusing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/problem-with-java-on-firefox-240-affects-picture-uploading-picture-viewing-and-other-things#post-1034564 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 05:00:49 +0000 Diana 1034564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Greg. I just sent the console data to you in a PM. </p> <p>I've changed nothing with my plugins, etc, except for the automatic firefox upgrade to 24.0. YLF and Java were running fine yesterday on 23. </p> <p>These are the plugins I have (I think I have had them all for ages although I admit I haven't checked in a while):<br /> iphotoPhotocast 6.0<br /> Java Applet Plugin 13.9.7<br /> movenetworks quantum media player npnmqmp 071701000001<br /> picasa 1.0<br /> quicktime 7.6.6<br /> shockwave flash 11.8.800.168</p> <p>I also have the evernote web clipper extension (v5.7).</p> <p>As to why I prefer Firefox? At this point I'm not sure to be honest. Just familiarity I guess. It used to run substantially faster and hung up far less often than Safari but Safari seems to have improved a lot recently. I also think Firefox is highly customizable, which I like, but again I think Safari has improved a lot in this regard. </p> <p>But maybe I should try Chrome? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/problem-with-java-on-firefox-240-affects-picture-uploading-picture-viewing-and-other-things#post-1034546 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 04:12:53 +0000 Greg 1034546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Diana,</p> <p>From the screenshots, yes, Javascript is definitely disabled in your browser for some reason. I have FF24 on my Mac, but that isn't happening in my case. In fact, in version 23 they removed the option to disable Javascript and now you have to install a special plugin to do that.</p> <p>By the way,&nbsp;"Java" and "Javascript" are actually two completely unrelated things. Most websites, like YLF, use Javascript. But very few require Java. This explains why that Java applet plugin has no effect.</p> <p>Still, that doesn't help to explain why Javascript isn't working. Do you have any other plugins installed?</p> <p>Also, here's something that might give us a little more info: Right click anywhere on the page and choose "Inspect Element". A new area will appear at the bottom of the page. At the top of the area, click "Console". Then... <ul> <li>Reload the page</li> <li>Click in the console area</li> <li>Press command-a to select all</li> <li>Press command-c to copy all</li> <li>Open an email message to me</li> <li>Copy the console contents into the email&nbsp;using command-c</li> <li>Send that to me</li> </ul> Finally, just out of curiosity... what is it that you prefer about Firefox?</p> <p>Cheers,<br />Greg </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/problem-with-java-on-firefox-240-affects-picture-uploading-picture-viewing-and-other-things#post-1034461 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 01:28:21 +0000 Diana 1034461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Using Safari now to upload the screenshots. &nbsp;</p> <p>#1 is what I get instead of the picture upload icon.<br />#2 is what happens when I click on a photo.

Basically, with today's update to Firefox 24.0, Java has stopped working (not just on YLF but everywhere). This affects several things that I have noticed so far on YLF. First, I can't upload photos anymore - instead of the picture upload icon, I get a message that says "Please enable JavaScript if you would like to include photos in your posts." Second, when viewing photos, the pop-up photo viewer no longer works. Instead, clicking on a thumbnail takes me to a new page with just the one photo and I have to use the back button to get back to the forum. Finally, the edit post/ report spam/ etc that usually pops up when you hover over the gear icon does not work. </p> <p>These all still work fine in Safari. I do prefer Firefox though so I hope you know how to fix the problem! I have read that Mozilla has decided that Java is too insecure to be always active, but that you can enable for certain sites manually. However, on my version (for Mac) I can't figure out how to do this. My Java applet plug-in still says "always allowed" but no Javascript is currently working on any site. </p> <p>PS - I will reply in a minute using Safari with screenshots. (since I can't upload them on Firefox, grr...) </p>
