How do I enable Javascript in Foxfire 29.0? about:config does not work.

I've just downloaded the newest available Foxfire (29.0) in the hope I can access my gmail account. But it still says "Javascript is not enabled". about:config does NOT show a preferences menu, so I can't toggle Javascript on. I tried downloading add-ons to toggle Javascript on/off, but they are not compatible with Firefox 29.0.
Must I stop using Firefox altogether? I cannot access my banks, my credit cards, or my gmail accounts, nor can I access YouTube. This is all I use my browser for -- so Firefox is no longer useful to me, unless you can give me a fix for this!

This solution didn't work, because the page was redirecting and never arrived. It might have been because I was using Internet Explorer, which also is not Javascript enabled -- but the Mozilla Support Forum requires Javascript enabled in order to access it!
I used Chrome, and was able to toggle it when the about:config field ''finally'' opened. The originally posted instructions omitted the instruction that the command about:config will only work if you do it from the Firefox home screen, where the orange word 'Firefox' appears at the beginning of the destination.

How do I enable Javascript in Foxfire 29.0?

about:config does not give me a box with preferences so I can toggle Javascript on/off. When I try to download the add-ons for enabling Javascript to be toggled, they won't download -- I get a message that they are not compatible with Firefox 29.0.
I need Javascript to access the websites I most frequently use: my banks, my credit cards, my Gmail accounts, and YouTube.
None of the articles on Javascript seem to apply to my situation: I get a message that Javascript is NOT enabled.
I am running it in Windows 7, Service Pack 1.

How can i make a soft return with pages shift enter does not work!

how can i make a soft return with pages shift plus enter does not work!!

On full keyboards with a numeric keypad, the key above the right shift is "return" & the one on the numeric section is "enter." On a Mac (or Apple IIgs ) they do have separate functions. On the "mini" keyboards, both names are on the same key, but "enter" is written in smaller letters. I'll have to check to see how that works on another Mac later today.

HT201401 How can i reset my iphone if the Sleep/Wake button does not work?

My camera shuts off every time that I try to take a picture. I would like to reset my IPhone in order to try and solve the problem. My Sleep/Wake button does not work.
How can I reset my IPhone without the Sleep/Wake Button working?
Thanks for the help.

When pressing the sheep/wake button, the iPhone's screen is not turned off if on and does not turn on if off, and pressing and holding the sleep/wake or on/off button does not bring up slide to power off?
And you can't do a reset by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release?
If so and there is no change after restoring the iPhone with iTunes, make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby since more than likely there is a hardware problem.

How do I get my money back? Adobe Export PDF does not work

You'd have to contact Adobe (we are users).
That being said, if you go to the proper forum and give them the details about what you mean by "does not work", I'm sure they can help you. Because it does work.

Location-Aware Browsing is now disabled
Google will not remove their location aware feature saying it is picked up by the location aware feature in my firefox browser and referred me to your like where I found the above to disable this feature. It just sent me to a yahoo search page. How do you disable this I want to use US Google not Google.ua and you don't need this to help me locate anything in the Ukraine.

How can I completely disable ssl3.0? about:config does not have security.enable_ssl3

Latest discovery by Google says even though I use TLS, I may be configured to be backward compatible to SSL3.0 and a "Poodle" attack by a predator website might induce me to use SSL3.0 and be vulnerable to attack. They say the cure is: "To prevent POODLE attacks on Firefox, open about.config, search for "security.enable," and set "security.enable_ssl3" to false."
First mistake is "about.config" should be "about:config". Second problem is there is no "security.enable_ssl3" line to be found. I don't know if I'm supposed to create the line, and if so, how do I do that?

A new extension has been released to "fix" Firefox 26 and later versions, until Firefox 34 is released on Nov 25th with the fix built-in.

How to change what a new tab opens to when auto:config does not work?

Hi,
For an unknown reason my new tab changed from google to a weird yahoo one today. I cannot find how to revert it back even after i made google my home page and default search engine. I checked online and saw that perhaps I could fix things with the auto:config but I cannot even get it to open. When I try a search engine opens up. Any help would be appreciated.

The correct name of that page is <b>about:config</b> and not 'auto:config'.
You can open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location/address bar.
You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

You can check the value of the browser.newtab.url pref.

HT5559 I've followed the instructions to re-enable apple supplied Java SE 6 but this does not work. Java is still disabled and I'm having problems with dependant applications.

I've followed the instructions to re-enable apple supplied Java SE 6 following upgrade to version 7 which caused a number of applications to stop working.
I wondered if anyone has had any joy re-enabling JAVA SE 6. I've tried contacting Apple but cannot get any response. They've sent me back default messages claiming that they have tried to contact me - they haven't! I'd be grateful for some help with this. Thanks

This is the latest news about Java.

I do not use Java. So I cannot verify that this is the solution or not..

How can I run two different versions of Firefox, the latest does not work with an important site I need to use?

With the latest version of Firefox I cannot send "Quick Mails" to my students using the college's ANGEL system. I had to uninstall it and go to an earlier version. I prefer the newest rev.
Any way to run two different versions. It does not have to be simultaniously. Seems to be a problem on both my Mac and XP systems.
Thanks,
Kim

Currently I don't think there is a way to run two version of firefox at the same time. But you can install Firefox Beta or Aurora instead (which is build for future release for firefox) and help test it! Here's the link:
