Posted April 7, 200718 yr I'm running the latest edition of Firefox (2.0.0.3). I have the latest edition of Java Console (6.0.01). But it never works, its always disallowed. How do you get it to work? If I go this page and select Java https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/browse/type:7 it takes me to here; http://www.java.com/en/download/ which is Version 5.0 Update 11 Help please.
April 7, 200718 yr Administrator Java will still work just fine, all that is disabled is the extension.
April 8, 200718 yr All the console does is provide diagnostic info to help figure out what's wrong with broken applets. Enter about:plugins in the address bar, this will give you a list of the plugins present in Firefox. If the Java 6 plugin isn't listed, you just need to reinstall Java 6. Mozilla used to link to the Java developer's site where you could get the latest version, don't know why they changed. Anyway, it's here: http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp . Maybe too many users were getting the JDK by mistake, end users just need the JRE. I also don't know why Java.com is always so slow to offer the latest version. JRE 6 has been out for months! You'd think it would be ready for the general public after this long - I installed it back in December. I haven't gotten around to getting update 1 yet, though, thanks for reminding me.
April 8, 200718 yr Not true. Many java sites don't work. I don't have Java installed, and I honestly cant remember last time I saw a website that required Java, honestly. Now when I think of it, the last time, I believe was some online virus scanning thing...

April 9, 200718 yr Author I tested it on the java site and it works. However, on some sites it doesn't. Like this for example; http://www.grindhousemovie.net/
April 9, 200718 yr I tested it on the java site and it works. However, on some sites it doesn't. Like this for example; http://www.grindhousemovie.net/Tried that link - it's a Flash video. Is Java trying to play that on your machine? No way that can work. I've heard of Quicktime trying to take over Flash content (which also doesn't work), never heard of that happening with Java, though. Go to Tools > Options > Content > File Types - Manage. SWF and SPL should be set to "Open with Shockwave Flash".
April 9, 200718 yr Author Shockwave Flash File name: NPSWF32.dll Shockwave Flash 9.0 r16 MIME Type Description Suffixes Enabled application/x-shockwave-flash Adobe Flash movie swf Yes application/futuresplash FutureSplash movie spl Yes I checked it is as you said. SPL was set to shockwave flash. SWF was set to IE, so I changed it to shockwaave flash. It still doesn't work.
April 10, 200718 yr Very strange. Flash movies were set to open in IE? That's messed up! If Quicktime was trying to take over Flash content, I'd know exactly how to fix it, but this is a new one. Maybe re-installing Flash would help.
April 10, 200718 yr On second thought, try the Shockwave/ Flash test page: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/
April 10, 200718 yr Don't know if it will help, but check out this article: Flash - MozillaZine Knowledge Base http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash
April 10, 200718 yr Author Of what, all of firefox? But all the settings though.... ActiveX plugin conflict If the Mozilla ActiveX plugin is installed and is either misconfigured or the wrong version for your browser it can interfere with Flash content. Exit the browser, then look for the file "npmozax.dll" in the installation directory plugins folder. If found, rename the file "Xnpmozax.dll" to disable the ActiveX plugin. If Flash content plays correctly afterwards, remove the ActiveX plugin if you don't need it or install the correct version for your browser. Check this article for details.
