AMCAS Firefox 3.5.2 and Javascript

I have been trying to register for AMCAS but it is no letting me. I have explored how to do this on SDN. I have tried the User Agent thing but it is not letting me. I have also tried the "about:config" approach somebody recommended. I am able to get to the login screen but when I click "Register here" I get: "Unsupported Browswer Settings: You must have Javascript enabled." The thing though is that it is enabled. Advice would be much appreciated.

Redownload firefox 3.0 and upgrade after application is finished, that's what I did

Mine app is finished, I was justing posting for the op. I didn't feel like using a browser a couple years outdated when at the time of the application service opened firefox3.0 was current and is supported. I was just responding to the post to show that other browsers are available and supported than ie.

Just reread the thread and relized that by not supported I meant by ie, not amcas. Ie hasn't been updated for macs for a couple of years I think. While firefox 3.0 was the latest edition back in may when the service opened. Sorry for the confusion.

Thanks for your suggestions. Unfortunately they aren't working. I have tried Firefox 3.0 and internet explorer 7 and 6. I am beginning to think it might be my security software (Norton 360). Don't know, pretty frustrating/annoying.

Just an idea: it might have something to do with the browser being unsupported (I had a similar problem earlier in the year when I tried to use Firefox 3.5 to do my AMCAS app, though I think there was a different error message). I suggest trying the User Agent Switcher addon and changing the User Agent to something like IE 7.0 (that's what I ended up using). If that doesn't work I'm out of ideas, and you'll probably just have to use another computer.

You can find the User Agent Switcher here https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/59/

As someone with significant technical background, I refused to do this. Firefox has an add-in called IE Tab... seems self explanatory from here. 🙂
