After install firefox 6 I can not eun java from adressbar. I use a script in autohotkey to fill in som forms and send some commands . Example: 

javascript:void(document.getElementById("searchButton").click())

to click an button on a page.

Is it any option to alow javascript from adress bar ?

If not, Is it possible to get and install Firefox 5. ?

Regards Dioden

That is the result of this bug;

  • Bug 656433 – Disallow javascript: and data: URLs entered into the location bar from inheriting the principal of the currently-loaded page

(please do not comment in bug reports; you can vote instead)

You can create a keyword bookmark (e.g. eval) with this code to run the code via the location bar.
That seems to work. 

javascript:void(eval('%s'));

Test code on this page: 

javascript:void(document.getElementById("show-more-details").click());
