Java not working in FireFox

Got sun Java

have it enabled
but it is not working
why?

 

Do you have Firefox 1.0?

Go to Tools, Options and then check that these are "checked:

http://www.mozilla.org/projects/help-viewer/docs/firebird/prefs.html This says to be sure that you have both of these checked in the preferences box under Web Features Options:

Quote from site:
Enable Java
Java is a popular programming language for the web developed by Sun Microsystems. ... Uncheck this option to disable Java applets in Firefox. Note that in order for Java applets to work, you must install the Java plugin.

Enable JavaScript
JavaScript is a scripting language commonly used to construct web pages. JavaScript is often used to dynamically validate forms and select buttons. Disabling JavaScript may cause some sites to not work properly.

While it is usually recommended to keep JavaScript enabled, there are some functions that you may want to disable. Click the Advanced... button to display these options.

(I can't get any of the quotes, smilies, bold, underline, etc. thingies to work in a post while using Firefox -- go figure)

 

I know you said you had it "enabled" -- I just wasn't sure if you meant in this options box?!

 

yes, ma'am. . . . . .

 

it says I need to download a plugin
but wont?

 

I tried to just uninstall it
but the uninstall string is missing

how do I make ie my default again?

 

really. .I can't do it.. . . .

even when I try and open a url shortcut I get the
cant open pick from a list or look online thing
I chek the little box that says always use this to open this kind of doc. . .and nothing


aaaaahhhhhh. . . ... .

 

well the sun java reg keys are missing

and I still can't swich my IE back to my default

any suggestions?

 

Sorry if I've missed something but can you open up Internet Explorer at all?
If so, go to Tools, Internet Options, Program tab, at the bottom is the box to check that say "IE should check to see whether it is the default browser"

You can also (in the same place) click on the rectangle saying "Manage Add-ons" and see what it says about SUN JAVA that you've put on -- or haven't -- or whatever -- see how IE is "reading" it anyway.


But maybe you're not able to open up IE? I'm not sure from your post...

 

I got it , thanks. . .
I was missing reg keys for firefox and the sun java

they just ran away. . . . .
I will have to reinstall them

and remove javavm again
