I get an error message stating my browser or security is not allowing javascript to open when I try to get on hule. I have tried everything possible, uninstall & reinstall Firefox, clear cache & cookies, make sure javascript is enabled, Uninstall & reinstall java. I have no problem using Chrome. I prefer Firefox but, I have no choice.

Fortunately, Firefox doesn't need the Java plugin to run JavaScript. It's built in.

If JavaScript were disabled, numerous websites would be screaming about it. If you only see this problem on Hulu, the problem likely has another cause, such as some selective filtering by an add-on or external security/privacy software.

Many users have recently become more aware of privacy and either made changes to their cookie settings or installed extensions that stop some information from reaching websites. While this reduces tracking, it also can cause some site functions to break.

As a test, try using Hulu in Firefox's Safe Mode in a Private Browsing window. This will help bypass restrictive cookie settings, as well as other filtering behaviors of extensions, to see whether those are a factor.

You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using

Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled

In the small dialog that should appear, click "Start in Safe Mode" (not Reset)

Then open a private browsing window using either:

  • Ctrl+Shift+p
  • File menu > New Private Window
  • orange Firefox button > New Private Window

In that window, try Hulu. Any difference?

Can you attach a screenshot?

Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot.

Turns out it was adblocker plus causing the problem.
