I'm running Firefox 3.6.9

Now any website that uses javascript is unresponsive. Sites include the BBC i-player (no videos or radio), WE7.com (no music whatsoever). I cannot access my yahoo email. In fact virtually nothing seems to be working any more. I've checked in 'Tools' and javascript is enabled. I've also run java update to make sure I have the latest version. I've recently replaced Vista with 7 as my OS.

I'm not very tech-savvy, so I'm totally stumped as to what to do and have resorted to using Google Chrome where all the above-mentioned sites work fine.

I have been very loyal to Firefox for a few years, but this problem is turning my head.

Any ideas?

To avoid confusion: http://kb.mozillazine.org/JavaScript_is_not_Java

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

See Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems and Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems
