Please advise,

I click on hypertext and/or a button. It fails. No response. No error message. It's as though I never clicked it. It's an intermittent problem that arises on many sites. The worst thing is it usually fails on an activation like making a payment, logging in, or joining a site. You know, right when you most need the button to work. Then I have to switch to Edge.

I suspect it has something to do with Java or Javascript not being functional with Firefox. However, the news of the workaround hasn't reached me. I've had Edge as my backup when this failure occurs. If Java is such a security threat, it doesn't make sense to have me switch to a browser that handles Java.

If JavaScript isn't working properly then this is usually caused by extensions that are blocking (essential) content.

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.

Firefox shows a purple shield instead of a gray shield at the left end of the location/address bar in case Enhanced Tracking Protection is blocking content. You can click shield icon for more detail and possibly disable the protection. You can check the Web Console for messages about blocked content.
