Firefox doesn't know how to open this adress, because the protocol (javascript) isn't associated with any program
How to solve this problem?
Chosen solution
I don't try Safe Mode.
But, in about:config - I have something change and error disappeared. Now Firefox will work normal!
I attach screenshot, My javascript configuration.
Thanks guys!

Don't understand how to solve :(
What are you doing when you get that error message?
Are you typing or pasting code in the location bar or do you get it when visiting a website (in that case please post a link if possible)?
If I visit anything websites where used javascript - I get this error!
For example, try to open CodeIgniter guide (http://codeigniter.com/user_guide/) or just open http://google.com and get few copies (windows) of this error

Make sure that you do not block JavaScript
Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
- Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
- https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
That link for codeigniter apparently points to something that does not exist. I get a 404 Not Found error.
Remove from url ")". Sorry, correct link is http://codeigniter.com/user_guide/
Somebody can show me parameters in about:config menu? Beforehand thanks!
Remove the trailing ')' in that link to fix it.
It is better to reset the javascript.options.strict pref to false to avoid getting a lot of messages in the error console.
Did you try Safe mode?

Ah, I missed that the network.protocol-handler.external.javascript was set to true.
Yes that makes Firefox display that error if there is no application to handle JavaScript present.
None of the links on that codeigniter page are javascript links. Javascript links begin with "javascript:", and no links on that page are like that.
There is one:
<div id="nav2"><a name="top"></a><a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="myHeight.toggle();"><img src="images/nav_toggle_darker.jpg" width="154" height="43" border="0" title="Toggle Table of Contents" alt="Toggle Table of Contents" /></a></div>
Oh, I see. That one works, however.
The onclick is done in such a case.
The href="javascript:void(0);" is only meant as a placeholder and doesn't need to be (shouldn't be) there (some pages use href="#").
