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?

It's a security issue. Other browsers will follow this restriction...
Use firebug instead ;)

If you want to execute javascript from url, then you have to use like this:
let's say, you have site: http://www.site.com/post.php. then in post.php, insert:
if (!empty($_GET['action']) && $_GET['action'] == myfunction ){
echo '<script>alert("Hi User");</script>';
}
after that, when you enter: http://www.site.com/post.php?action=myfunction
then the script will be shown.

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
