[javascript application] this function has been disabled
I have looked at the articles that seem to address this issue, but I have a problem. When I go to Tools > Options > Content I am not given the option to enable Javascript. I am unable to delete bookmarks and have no idea what else may be effected. Any help will be appreciated.

You can also check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.

Hello lorelei13, yes in 23.0 firefox, Javascript is enable by default, if you want to disable it then go to about:config find javascript.enabled and double-click on it to make it false, or you can use the next addon :

thank you
also see SettingSanity (puts the options back into its exact place)
I now have the option to enable Javascript using https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/settingsanity/ , but even though it is checked, I still get the error message

Any other suggestions? I just want to be able to delete unused bookmarks.
Thanks for all the assistance.
Hello,
Try Firefox Safe Mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)
- You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the Shift key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
- Or open the Help menu and click on the Restart with Add-ons Disabled... menu item while Firefox is running.
Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"
If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems article for that.
To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.
Thank you.
