Just to be sure: do you mean Java or JavaScript?

Java and JavaScript are different languages. To avoid confusion, see:

JavaScript is build-in, but can be disabled by an extension or manually. Java is added by a plugin. Firefox on Windows is a 32 bit application and thus you need a 32 bit Java version for Firefox.

You didn't include troubleshooting information, so we can't check what plugins are installed and enabled.
