hello, please try to refresh firefox and see if this can address the issue...
Is the website asking for Java, or Javascript? They are two completely different things
If you use extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) that can block content (Adblock Plus, NoScript, Disconnect, Ghostery, Privacy Badger, uBlock Origin) always make sure such extensions do not block content.
- make sure your extensions and filters are updated to the latest version

Firefox shows an highlighted shield icon at the left end of the location/address bar in case Tracking Protection is blocking content.
- click the shield icon for more details and possibly disable the protection
You can check in the Web Console what content is blocked
- "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Web Developer

i see that uBlock Origin) is NOT set to disable javascript thanks
some of the more advanced settings have been moved to a different location in Firefox and are no longer accessible
from the standard "Settings" controls.
Click into the Address Bar You now need to go to a special address to be able to change them. The Address Bar is at the top of the Firefox window.
Go to the Advanced Configuration url In the address bar, type in about:config and press enter
Accept the warning about changing settings
Click the "I'll be careful, I promise" button.
This warning will appear each time you
visit about:config unless you untick the
"Show this warning next time" button.
We recommend keeping this box ticked to remind you each time!
You will now see the list of advanced settings
Type "javascript" into the "Search" box at the top to locate the setting you need to change
Find the "javascript.enabled" preference
One of the settings which you can see should
be called "javascript.enabled" in the
"Preference Name" column,
"This is because it is not the default setting: the default setting is for "javascript.enabled" to be "true".
So that is the setting you need to change."
Toggle the false/true preference On the line for "javascript.enabled",
Right Click (or Command Click on Mac) on the
"false" value, you will see a small menu appear, the top option is "Toggle". Click "Toggle",
and the "false" will change to "true".
Because "true" is the default setting, the entire line will no longer be in bold either.
Javascript is now enabled. Close the tab. click this link to confirm that, https://www.whatismybrowser.com/detect/is-javascript-enabled
