Firefox 3.6.10 on XP having problems (broken images, links don't work) on websites that previously worked okay
Just started in the last two days. Many sites that previously worked okay are displaying broken images and links that don't work (they appear as hyperlinks but nothing happens when I click on them). Google Chrome is able to display the sites without problems. I'm using Firefox 3.6.10 on Windows XP.
EDIT: The problem seems to be related to Javascript -- plain links and images work okay, but (some but not all) links and images that are wrapped in Javascript either don't display or don't respond to mouse clicks.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems and Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems

Your above posted system details show multiple Java Console extensions. You can uninstall (remove) the Java Console extensions and disable the Java Quick Starter extension, you do not need them to run Java applets.
