Is there a quick fix, have I got an incorrect setting?
I'm unable to take a screenshot as this dialogue box locks out all other functions until I make a choice - which then clears the box.

It sounds like either your browser is stumbling (possibly a bad plugin / addon) or the site has a problem. Try using another browser to see if that solves it.

No! Java and Javascript are two completely different languages. One runs in your browser. The other has a similar ish name but is not related to it at all and provides a platform for java programs to run on - it's used on anything from a PC to a set top box for freeview.
Javascript is used only in web pages. I think there is also a server side version of javascript but that is very rare.

Try to avoid sites that use Java.

It takes a bit of time and effort to set up to your own preferences but well worth it IMHO
Best plugin to have with firefox, stops scripts and adverts which in-turn produces a quicker web browsing experience as well as preventing malicious background scripts from running.
If it's good enough for the TOR browser, it's good enough for me
Never used Oracle Java for years, although not as bad as Adobe Flash

I guess from that comment you've never used it to write software in.

From my POV foxy is right - Java IS slow and rubbish. I don't program in that language and i find it annoying as an end user.
Delphi / object pascal may be very old tech but it compiles executables that have everything combined, compiles them faster than many compilers and the resulting programs run rather well too. Compare that to Java.. yes it can run on multiple systems... but you're never going to write a program that runs on everything - who wants their java p2p client to run on a set top box?

Wrong!
I've tried using it as a programming language.
I failed to create a properly formatted output.
Many languages - especially script based ones - would do better.
