[Novalug] Javascript problems w/Firefox 2.0.0.4 in Ubuntu

[Lee Burton]

Perhaps (for the fun of it) try the tar.gz packed binary off mozilla's webpage 
(to make sure its not the binary).  If that fails to make javascript 
function, I would export my bookmarks/write down my firefox plugins (although 
those can break javascript as well) and then remove .mozilla / .firefox 
(firefox sometimes stores stuff in ~/.mozilla/firefox for some reason).
