    choose parameters in IE
  2. Next, click " Custom Level" button at the bottom:

    Custom Level Setting

  3. Then you will see the settings of IE - and scroll down your mouse to "Scripting" - "Active Scripting" and then choose "Enable":

    active scripting enable

    Click "OK" to finish the settings. Restart IE and the setting will activate.

    Adjust settings in Firefox

  2. Already done? OK, see the selections under "Content":

    Enable JavaScript in Firefox

    and then click "OK". You need restart Firefox to activate this setting.

Solution 2. Download Firefox Extensions to support Adobe Flash Player

    There are many Firefox add-ons and extensions to support this safe browser, and most of them are free. If you are interested in all kinds of flash files and want to enjoy them without limitations, then OOK?Video OOK! for Firefox is a must - download tool, which finds the hidden videos for you.
