Make sure your Java (Not JavaScript) is up to date Verify Java and Find Out-of-Date Versions {web link}
Version 8 Update 111 Release date October 18, 2016 http://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
Type about:addons<enter> in the address bar to open the Add-ons Manager. Hot key; <Control>(Mac=<Command>) <Shift> A)
On the left side of the page, select Plugins. Make sure the ones you want to use are set to Ask or Allow.
Go to the web page. Once the page is loading, mouse to the address bar and Left click the icon. Select Permissions. In the menu, Make sure the ones you want to use are set to Ask or Allow.

I am not sure you have figured out the difference between Java and Javascript yet. That is important in trying to resolve your issue. Polite questions are more likely to be responded to.

Did you try "the usual"?
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Clear Firefox's Cache
See: How to clear the Firefox cache
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes. If you do not see the number going down on the page, you can reload it using Ctrl+r to check progress.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
- right-click (on Mac Ctrl+click) a blank area of the page and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
- (menu bar) Tools > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
- click the padlock or "i" icon in the address bar, then the ">" button, then More Information, and finally the "View Cookies" button
In the dialog that opens, the current site should be pre-filled in the search box at the top of the dialog so you can remove that site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
Also, is Flash up-to-date? You can check using this page:
https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html
If the Check Now button doesn't do anything, check the address bar for a plugin notification icon. It should be to the left of the address and look somewhat like a small gray Lego block. Click that to check whether the site has permission to use Flash.
