Now, the javascript problem? Still remains. A PIMA, if I goto
www.cbsnews.com it will start to display it, for perhaps a second,
then this warning pops up and completely displaces the sites content
downward and off screen about twice the height of the screen so at
first glance, you assume the site is not available, but on this
1920x1280 monitor, its still there but you have to scroll down about
1.5 to 2x the screens height to see the sites contents.

Slashdot for instance, has about 50% of its screen area devoted to
javascript errors.  The site can still be used by iceweasal but its
quite annoying. Konqueror just throw up its hands and sits there, no
response to clicking on any sublink on any of the mainsleeze news
sites.

That's bizarre. I have no such issues with www.cbsnews.com or
slashdot.org when using iceweasel. I don't use konqueror, so I can't
offer a comparison there.

What do the errors say?

If  a pastefrom iceweasal  works:
===
The address wasn't understood

Iceweasel doesn't know how to open this address, because one of the
following protocols (javascript) isn't associated with any program or is
not allowed in this context.
===

Lots of javascript stuff is installed, but something is blocking its
use. and no "blockers" like add-block and its ilk are installed.

Gene, open preferences/applications and search on "java". See what you
get. Mine shows "Use Oracle java 7 web start". Your's should have
something there, depending on what java is installed. But, you need to
inform Iceweasel/Firefox what to do when it intercepts a java request.

Java 8 is so anal, nothing will run without rock-hard certs. You might
be better served using Java 7 until your nerves calm down or after
taking your meds. I had to check my blood sugar first. After all of the
Java exploits, security is at the point nothing wants to run and nothing
wants to run it. :) Ric

This is (or was) a JavaScript issue rather than a Java one. The two are
easily confused.

Firefox recently started questioning every single use of java and flash, to allow them to run once or always, per website. I run Firefox, so if you haven't seen this yet with Iceweasel, you will soon! Whew! :) Ric
