In Firefox 30, JavaScript is Disabled.

When I try to go on a website in Firefox 30, the website is not arranged correctly, most times the website will ask for me to enable JavaScript. I have looked at other Threads and could not find anything about JavaScript in the Options menu. I would add troubleshoot information, but I had to post this in Google Chrome(Firefox did not work)

vanik84, the Java plugin and JavaScript are Not the same thing as JavaScript was originally going to be called LiveScript which would have helped in the name confusion. http://kb.mozillazine.org/JavaScript_is_not_Java
