javascripting no longer works on version 23 breaks ckeditor
My website ZenCart uses CKEditor in the admin to update product and web pages. I just replaced my hard drive and download the newest version of Firefox. The new version 23 breaks CKEditor - it no longer shows up and allows me to edit my products and pages within ZenCart. I put the old hard drive back in my machine with version 22 and CKEditor is working. I went to the content page it shows "Load Images automatically" and "Enable Javascript". I unchecked "Enable JavaScript" in version 22 and CKEditor did the same thing that it does in version 23. So I know the problem is with Version 23 because "Enable JavaScript" is now missing from the Content page under Options. This issue has basically could put me out of business because I can't add or change produce without CKEditor.
I've been working and searching the internet for a solution for 3 days. Please help me.

Hello,
In Firefox 23, as part of an effort to simplify the Firefox options set and protect users from unintentially damaging their Firefox, the option to disable JavaScript was removed from the Firefox Options window.
However, the option to disable JavaScript was not removed from Firefox entirely. You can still access it from about:config or by installing an add-on.
about:config
- In the address bar, type "about:config" (with no quotes), and press Enter.
- Click "I'll be careful, I promise"
- In the search bar, search for "javascript.enabled" (with no quotes).
- Right click the result named "javascript.enabled" and click "Toggle". JavaScript is now disabled.
To Re-enable JavaScript, repeat these steps.
Add-ons
You can alternatively install an add-on that lets you disable JavaScript, such as
- No-Script (to disable JavaScript on a per page basis, as required)
- QuickJava (to easily disable and enable JavaScript, automatic loading of images, and other content)
Thank you and I hope this helps!
No that does not fix my problem. Your solution is to disable javascript. I need to enable javascript.
Javascript is enabled by default in Firefox (check it by going to about config and making sure that javascript.enabled is set to True). You said in Firefox 22 that you site worked when JS was turned off? Your initial post is confusing
Hi Kevin, is it possible that your CKEditor could be a few versions behind? Firefox has made a lot of API changes over the past year, and there are frequent updates to CKEditor to fix bugs and adapt to browser changes.
If you use the 4.x series:
4.1.3 - 7/19/2013 4.1.2 - 6/10/2013
4.0.3 - 3/21/2013
If you use the 3.x series:
3.6.6.1 - 2/20/2013
Actually, you probably need the Zen Cart plugin version from here: http://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=1098
We will try to upgrade the ckeditor. Thanks for your help. I will let you know if it works.
I found the solution without upgrading CKEditor. To the left of the address bar was a small icon. I double clicked on it. It said something about security issue with javascripting. I said to allow on this website. The CKEditor interface showed up. This fixed my problem.
Thanks for everyone's help.
Hi Kevin, great detective work. The shield indicates the presence of "mixed content" in the page, as described in this article: Mixed content blocking in Firefox
You can address this on an ad hoc basis (as you discovered) or edit the page so that the <script> tags and/or <iframe> tags use HTTPS instead of HTTP. A convenient way to do that is to omit the protocol completely. In other words, start your URLs with src="// instead of src="http://.
