When I hit the "options" button it does not open so I can select an option?
The "options" button does not open when clicked so that I can enable Java when I want to, etc.? The "options" button just quit working.

Some added toolbar and anti-virus add-ons are known to cause Firefox issues. Disable All of them.
Type about:preferences<Enter> in the address bar.
Java, however, is in the about:config page.
Type about:config<Enter> in the address bar. If a warning screen comes up, press the Be Careful button. This is where Firefox finds information it needs to run. At the top of the screen is a search bar. Type Java
WARNING ! ! If you don't know what you are doing . . . . . . . . .STOP ! ! !
Note: Java and Javascript are not the same thing.
BTW: why do you think Java is off?

Do you even have Java installed? Don't see it in your Installed Plugins listing.

I should have referenced Java script. I rebooted and now it seems to be working again.
"If you don't know what you are doing...." is probably an apt description.
Thanks for the answers.
