Firefox 4 & Javascript

[jxie93]

Just in the past week, I had to clear all of my Firefox 4's cache and cookies twice because Javascript has stopped working. How does it stop working, you ask? I don't have a clue. All I know is it renders Firefox useless as hotmail, youtube, playdota and practically every site I regularly go onto use Javascript.

If you know what's happening here, I'm looking for a permanent solution. I don't wanna clear my cache and cookies everytime this happens because I lose my login sessions.

Does plugin container process in task manage is active when this happens?

I sometimes have problem with it on FF4 as well. Solution is easy, just start using other browser. Works for me:P

Download a new installer file from Mozilla, then reinstall with that.

Or just use Chrome/Chromium.:P

I haven't had this issue, also hotmail/youtube/big sites usually have backup support for browsers which don't support scripts.

Are you sure it's a js issue?

Reinstalling FF should solve the issue.

I'm pretty sure it's a problem with Javascript, Youtube, Yahoo, Hotmail are all js based and their layouts were messed up.

Also, I'm not too fond of a complete reinstall of Firefox. Can anyone tell me what I have to backup if I plan to reinstall or is Firefox clever enough not to delete my favourites?

Import favs to IE and import to ff from it after reinstall?

do you have noscript install?

and importing to IE is no good.

go to bookmarks -> show all bookmarks -> click import and backup -> press backup.
