Can't find an answer to this problem of javascript!

Hello
I've always found great Firefox, but I'm about to switch to google chrome because for the last month or more whenever I click on many links, I need to visit, firefox wrote:
"Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the Protocol (javascript) is not associated with any program."
I try the same sites on google chrome and its fine.
This has happened since the last update of Java.
I tried to go to the topic: Configure page and turn on/off the list from true to false, but it works no-loads of them still keep coming up as false.
I would be really grateful is someone could tell me how to solve this problem, or I'll have to say goodbye to firefox which is really sad, because it used to be great

According to a suggestion in another thread, you can try the following to return some JavaScript settings to their default values.

(1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

(2) in the filter box, type or paste javasc and make a pause so that the list is filtered

(3) if the line with Network.protocol - handler.external.javascript is "BOLD" (or user shows the true value), double-click on it to return its value to the parameter by default false. This should get rid of this error.

(4) if the line with javascript.enabled is "BOLD" (or user shows the false value), double-click it to return its value to the parameter by default true.

Another thing to do would be to see if you have a current file user.js in your profile folder. The user.js file is present than if you or another software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be here.

You can delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-# .js files and rename (or delete) the file prefs.js to reset all the prefs by default, including the prefs set via user.js and pref which is no longer supported in the current version of Firefox. You can get the profile below:

  • Help > troubleshooting information > profile directory > see folder

or

  • Go to Subject: support , and then click view the folder next to the profile directory.
