Windows Live ID says Firefox does not support JavaScript (it is enabled) or doesn't allow scripts (?)
Windows Live ID says JavaScript is required to sign in (to Hotmail). It says Firefox does not support JavaScript (under content, the enable JavaScript box is checked) or scripts are being blocked (how?). How can this be addressed?

If you have javascript enabled in your browser you will be able to see the formatting icons above where you type in messages in this support.mozilla forum. Can you confirm you see them ?
Try clearing the cache and cookies for windows live and try again that may help.
Do you have the NoScript extension ?
Cleared the cache but nothing changed. I do not see the formatting icons.
How do I verify NoScript extension?
Your system info included no script, is that active and blocking things ?
You could consider temporarily disabling no script by using
- Firefox button -> Add-ons -> | Extensions| ... [disable]
As a more general note it is worth trying firefox's safe mode and also using the default theme, and disabling any plugins.
Still no formatting icons, but disabling NoScript seems to be working. But Firefox worked for a long time with NoScript enabled. In addition, Explorer has always worked. I don't understand what went wrong, but many thanks for all the help to correct it.
