[Novalug] Javascript problems w/Firefox 2.0.0.4 in Ubuntu

I downgraded from SuSe 10.2 to Ubuntu 7.04 a little over a week ago.  I
say this because I found the Ubuntu installation to be less fulfilling
an experience than SuSe.  Case in point, Firefox 2.0.04 is loaded at
some point (likely upgraded in an Update session).  When I go to
numerous sites that require Javascript, I get told it is not enabled.
Yet when I go to the Preferences and the Content Tab, yea verilly -
Javascript is enabled.  I even went so far as to enable all the options
under Advanced (which I really don't want to do) - with no change.

What site(s) am I talking about?? Go to "Find a drop-off location" at
http://www.dhl-usa.com/ - this the one that broke the camels back in
this case.  I get the message 

"This page is best viewed in a browser that supports Javascript. Your
browser either does not support Javascript or has Javascript disabled.
If you want to correctly view this page, please upgrade your browser or
enable Javascript support."

So, after googling a bit and not finding an answer, I was wondering if
anyone else sees this or am I "the only one?"
