JavaScript executed through address bar is not working in Firefox 7, 8. For example, the code below works in Chrome, when I paste it into the address bar and press Enter
:
javascript:alert("hello world!");
In the latest Firefox, it's not working. Why? How can I make it work?
What is your practical application of that feature? – Šime Vidas – 2011-11-14T14:56:19.710

1From that URL: "Starting in Firefox 6 javascript in the url-bar runs with a null security principal for security reasons. This means it's almost disabled. You need a bookmarklet or an add-on for a workaround." – Quentin – 2011-11-14T15:00:02.540
The feature has been disabled in Firefox. – Pointy – 2011-11-14T15:00:26.697

@imeVidas: My application is using keywords to modify the URL or the page in the same manner as a bookmarklet, but without manually clicking or cluttering up the toolbar with bookmarklet icons. Anyone have a solution for this? There's no way to disable the disabler in
