I use SAP Infoview for work. To modify reports it requires a Java script to run. I had it set up in the previous version of ff to always allow from this specific site and it worked wonderfully. Now, in the new version, despite following all of the instructions from others, I cannot do my work because I cannot run Java script. I can still run it in Safari, but Safari is a last resort for me to use. I prefer Firefox and have all of my links stored there.

Some sites are not fully compatible with Firefox 4's new HTML5 rendering engine. Can you turn that off and test without it? Here are the steps:

(1) Open a new tab, then type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.

(2) In the filter box, type or paste html5 and pause while the list is filtered

(3) Double-click html5.parser.enable to toggle it to false (it should turn bold).

Then change back to the SAP tab and reload the page.

Does that make any difference?
