Latest Java update will not work in Firefox but does in IE

I have followed all the trouble shooting instructions in Firefox and on the Java site but no applications believe that Java is installed in firefox.

hello phillbatts, the java plugin and javascript are two very different things: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Javascript_is_not_Java
if websites report that javascript is disabled, try the following: enter '''about:config''' into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named '''javascript.enabled'''. make sure that it is set to '''true''' and else double-click it in order to change its value.
if this doesn't help, please also make sure that you don't have any extensions (like noscript) installed, that might block the execution of javascript or other active content...

    going through my account at verizon pay bill get to a submit button, it will not work. go back to site with IE everthing find. Happened mant times before, but sometimes i restart the page and it works, not the last time, i had to use IE

    Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?<br/> ''A troubleshooting mode.''<br />
    You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut. Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut to open it again.''

  • Site search will not work in Firefox but works with Chrome

    I run three websites. One is personal (www.rossolson.org) and two are for non-profit organizations (www.outpostministries.org and www.tccsa.tc). All have site search through Google, my own site is paid to be ad-free, the non profits are free and without adds because of their non profit status. For a while now, site search does not work with Firefox for the non profit sites but does for the paid site. Chrome and IE work fine. Is there a solution? Some setting to activate? Is this Google's doing?

    I am able to type a search word in but on clicking it, nothing changes. No results. the word just stays there.
    I also downloaded the https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/live-http-headers/ -- at first I wondered if it was not letting me install. So I allowed it in exceptions. But I'm not clear on what it does or what I do to use it.

  • URL Does Not Work in Firefox, but DOES Work in Other Browsers

    The following URL does NOT work in Firefox. However, it DOES work in Internet Explorer and Google Chrome:

    The main ASCAP URL works just fine. The problem seems to be confined to this link alone. Please fix; thank you!

    There is a server redirect on this URL.

  • I just downloaded the latest Windows updates, now videos online will not work on Firefox but will on other browsers, anyone else having this problem?

    After downloading the latest Windows updates I found that I could not play videos on YouTube or at other sites. Switching to other browsers I found I could play those same videos now without any problem. So I did a System Restore to determine if the Windows updates had affected video play using Firefox. The restore point was set to the day before the Windows download occurred. After System Restore was completed I could now play videos using the Firefox browser.
    To make sure that the Windows update was the problem, I again downloaded the newest Windows Updates and once again could not play videos on any site using Firefox. System restore was used to again reset my computer to the day before and once again the videos would ow play in the Firefox browser.

    Actually your reply took me in another direction and I found this on the Adobe site:
    The RealPlayer extension for Firefox, Downloading & Recording, has compatibility issues with Flash Player 11.3. If RealPlayer is installed Flash Player content does not appear. YouTube provides an error message when you try to watch a video.
    As a workaround, do the following:
    Start RealPlayer.
    Click the RealPlayer icon in the upper-left corner and select Preferences.
    Select Download & Recording in the left menu and deselect Enable Web Download & Recording for These Installed Browsers option.
    Click OK and restart Mozilla Firefox.
    Once I followed this I could now again play videos in Firefox.

  • Videos will not work in Firefox but work fine in windows explorer. why?

    I tried to verify my plug-in's and all are enabled. I found where was suggested to remove and reinstall Firefox but that did not fix problem either. I tried to change viewer for videos but still no luck. Not certain why Quicktime doesn't work. Note, videos when browsing will not open but everything else works fine. Videos work fine with windows Explorer, but not Firefox.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

  • Hi. I have a website that uses Virtuemart and the 'add to cart' feature will not work in Firefox but will in IE. I am running XP and 'Accept all cookies' is enabled. HELP, PLEASE... Thankyou

    I am testing our website :www.winningsportstips.com and we have Virtuemart installed and the site will not allow me to select 'add to cart' feature. However if I open the website in Internet Explorer, the feature is available and it functions correctly. I am running XP and have 'accept all cookies' enabled in settings.
    Can you give me any clues? Thanks , Vern Nowland

  • Photo gallery popups will not open in firefox, but does in internet explorer

    In the last few days popups within a website will not open. IE photo gallerys, logins for internet banking.
    It seems to be a problem only in firefox as they will open with internet explorer

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    * [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • Adobe flash player does not work on Firefox, but does on Wind Exp

    I have reinstalled Adobe Flash Player many times and also reinstalled Firefox, but flash player does not work. Every tim I try to play something it tells me to install the latest version of flash player. Flash player works fine on on Windows Explorer

    IE uses a different version of Flash (ActiveX) than other browsers use, you need to install the Plugin version of Flash.
    1.Download the Flash setup file from here: <br />
    [http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. <br />
    Save it to your Desktop.<br />
    2. Close Firefox using File > Exit <br />
    then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, <br />
    {XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del = Processes tab}
    3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.

  • New favicon will not display in Firefox, but does display in Safari

    I am working on a new website and uploaded the favicon.ico into the root folder (Go Daddy). The favicon appears when I use Safari, not does not appear in Firefox... I have a mac OSX version 10.5 I have cleared the history and cache too. Any thoughts?

    I have this problem too. I've just loaded my favicon.ico into my root folder and it shows next to the site url in latest Safari 5.0.5, but not in Firefox 3.6.17 - neither next to the site url nor on the page name tab.
    Firefox also does not show the favicon in the Tools > Page Info > Media tab, although this does list just three of the many jpgs and pngs within its folders. I've just added the favicon.ico to the folder where it does see a jpg and png, but no joy, still not displayed. See attached png.
    How do I overcome this problem? Is there a plugin that resolves this issue? It would be nice to have some color in the page name tabs. Many sites, such as this one, do have their favicons displayed by Firefox...
