EDIT I have found a fix...check this link here ----> http://4peeps.com/ivb/index.php?act=ST&f=1&t=18685


Java does not seem to function in Firefox 1.0+ even though it is shown as an installed plugin...

anyone know the fix to this?

here is a copy of my Java Console after trying to access and use the site Jigzone...

it works great for me. I suggest re-installing it. The best way is to go to a site that needs it and let the browswer go get it.

sorry that i cannot help further but i have never personally exerienced that problem.

what site are you trying to use? maybe I can test it and see if mine works.

some older applets might need an older Java Runtime Environment (JRE)

ive had no probs with it

I think the problem is not on your side, but on the site's side. It seems to me that part of the java program is missing from their server.

go here and test if java is working:

http://www.java.com/en/

uninstalled Java from my computer...reinstalled it...still not working...

opened java control panel...click <applet> tab, checked box [Mozilla/netscape], gives me an error saying i do not have permission or browser is installed impropery...

here is the latest errors from the java console, while visiting java.com

starting to think its the ol' linux crap...open source POS...

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

ok, JAVA runs fine locally, and with IE...

why did SUN sue M$ again? to mess up JAVA?

anyhow...JAVA is still a no go with Firefox...errors now whenever i goto a site with java on it...Java script works though...

after doing about 80 Google searches...i have found that there are Billions of people with the same problem on different OS's...Solaris, Linux, Mac, and Window Versions...
and there are also Millions of different suggestions ans work arounds...all that do NOT work...

it has to do with both Firefox, and Suns crappy Java...

apparently Firefox supports only Java 1.3 or something like that...but the problem is...Java older than J2SE5 contain a security flaw...unistalled Java 1.5, and installed a copy of 1.3...still, same problem...

Uninstalled FF and Java...installed FF first, then java...still no go...
Uninstalled FF and Java...installed Java first, then FF...still no go...

uninstalled FF, loaded IE...Java works...

POS software...
