Hi Christophe:

    Correct !

    A couple of weeks ago, I had complained about not being able to 'Disable 
Javascript' for testing.  I then reposted about finally finding the 
'about:config settings.

    I did my testing then I 'thought' that I had left Javascript enabled..

    So, I went back in with my 'new' firefox debug package, and tried to 
follow what was going on.  The FF debug package *said* that FF was disabled 
!

    This rang firebells in my head !

    So, I dived deep into about:config, and it said FF was *enabled*

    I toggled it a couple of times to ensure it really *was* enabled, then 
exited and tried my test again.

    It now works correctly -- but I can't understand the enabled / disabled 
settings and their transience ?? .

Anyway, thank you for confirming what I did !

    and thanks to EvetJan and Joao for their help.

-Mel

(so now I'm going to dig deeper into Firebug.)
