Firefox 9 -will disabling Java cripple my IE7 browswer? WinXP SP2

Currently have Firefox 3.6 installed, Win XP SP2. Also use IE7. I want to have both browsers on my system. They offer different advantages. There are many sites that will not operate on one or the other. I just started downloading the FireFox 9.0.1 version. Up popped a message that all my Java files are incompatible with the new Firefox ; it wants to disable them until some future date when (and if) they are made compatible with Firefox! I presume this means I cannot install Firefox 9. If it disables all my Java files for FireFox, will it disable it for Internet Explorer 7, too? Most current program installed is the Java 6 update 23 environment.
Also, the Firefox download is a big file. (The current version takes up only 21.29 mb) The set up executable is 14 mb! I use dial-up connection. The new features are dubious anyway. I won't use and will seek to disable many of the new features in v. 9 anyways.
So, should I not install version 9? Will it disable my IE 7 browser?

That message is not about the Java plugin that runs the applets, but about Java Console extensions that are no longer supported.
The Java plugin that you see in "Tools > Add-ons > Plugins" is used to run Java applets. 
You only need the Java Console extension (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) if you want to check and debug Java applets. 
Your above posted system details show multiple Java Console extensions. 
You can uninstall and remove Java Console extensions, you do not need them to run Java applets. 
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Java#Multiple_Java_Console_extensions
You can also disable the Java Quick Starter extension if you have it.

Firefox will disable my HP L7680( error message " turn power off then on again") when using either the printer icon or print in file pull down. .

This happens for em & other print request in my online brokerage account. It has no problem printing PDF files. When the message appears, four lights start blinking at the same time on the auto answer button, on off button, lower SD slot, and the light under the OK button with the directional tabs. At that point I have to power down the printer and change to ie8 to print these. My ie8 browser has no problems with any printing, but it does not function when trying to add notes in my Comcast address book

Mowaffaq, you may want to determine whether you are making those changes in the master printing preferences (versus the adjusting the session printing preferences from within your application).
Click "Start", click "Printers and Faxes" (or "Devices and Printers"), right-click your printer, and select "Printing Preferences". On the "Paper/Quality" tab, you should be able to specify A4 as your default paper for all future print jobs.
Hope that helps.

Firefox will not run a WebEx Meeting even though Java Script is Enabled! I am on 4.0, is this a beta version of FireFox? Are you going to Support Java anytime soon?

I am getting the following error after going in and setting up a WebEx meeting. I will not be able to use FireFox unless you get the ability to enable Java:
"Java Not Enabled
Meeting Center cannot be installed because Java is disabled in your Web browser. Please enable Java in your browser, and then click Set Up again. For instructions on enabling Java, refer to your browser's online help.
If Java cannot be enabled for any reason, you can download the manual installer and install it from your desktop by double-clicking the installer icon."
I enabled Java, added WebEx to all secure sites and performed every possible check known to man. This is on your end FireFox.
Do you have an ETA when 4.0 will support Java?

I will not pretend to know any answers to your problems, but I do wonder if you realise Firefox did decide to produce and support an Extended Stability Release, unfortunately this is NOT going to be based on Firefox 3.6. but on Firefox 10.

Firefox will not start, even in Safe Mode. Evidence suggests that this is due to an incompatibility with the latest update of Java.

Firefox will not start in WinXP. (I am sending this from an alternate browser.)
I believe that this is due to some incompatibility with the latest update of Java. I believe that one of the tabs from my previous session included a Java application, and this is causing the difficulty. In recent days, since the last update of Java, I have had difficulty in loading linked pages with Java applications into Firefox, and have needed to switch to a different browser to do this.
Now I cannot even start the browser, presumably due to the presence of a Java application on one of the restored tabs.
When I now try to start Firefox, my ZoneAlarm security s/w presents the message "Java(TM) Quick Starter binary is trying to access the Internet." I click "Allow", but Firefox will not start. If I click "Deny", the same result. The same thing happens when I try to start Firefox in Safe Mode, I cannot even start Firefox in Safe mode.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== after recent update of Java

You can try to disable the Java Quick starter and the Java Console extension in the Control Panel > Java.
Control Panel > Java > Advanced tab > Miscellaneous >Java Quick Starter (disable)
You can also disable the Java plugin in Firefox: Tools > Add-ons > Plugins

I uninstalled Java get this messag - Missing JAVA? For your safety, Firefox has disabled your outdated version of Java. Please upgrade to the latest version.

I am using Windows 7 premium 64-bit. I have uninstalled Java completely through Windows program manager. There is no Java in my list of plugins. Every time I update my plugins I get the following message - "Missing JAVA? For your safety, Firefox has disabled your outdated version of Java. Please upgrade to the latest version." I cannot find Java anywhere on my computer. Checked every troubleshooting website I can find but there seems to be no solution.

hello, is this happening on the plugin-check page - https://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/ ?
if so, you can probably safely dismiss this warning since it's likely a mistake. when java isn't present, the site will give that warning message though a webpage cannot detect if this because of java being blocked or if it isn't even installed on the system.

Firefox will not load Java in Linux - even after following all instructions on net I can find - what am I doing wrong??

The problem I've got is I'm currently running Puppy Linux on my laptop.
Now I've tried everything I can to get Java working under either Firefox, Chromium or Seamonkey (I have all three browsers on my computer).
For firefox and seamonkey I have tried the following -
downloaded the tar.gz file for java
unpacked it to /opt/java
gone to /user/lib/mozilla/plugins and run the command
ln -s /opt/java/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
to create the symbolic link to the plugin
checked that the plugin is executable (actually even tried giving everything full permission to read/write and execute it)
For Chromium done a similar thing but put the symbolic link in /usr/lib/chrome-linux/plugins folder instead.
Restarted the web browser, even tried restarting X Server in case the browser is running somewhere in the background.
All three browsers can pick up all the other .so plugins in that folder except Java.
When I click check plugins on firefox I get to the page about "Missing Java? - For your safety Firefox has disabled your outdated version of Java. Please upgrade to the latest version".
However the version I've downloaded is Version 7 Update 9 which is exactly the same one that is available as the latest version from Java themselves (it was only downloaded from that link a couple of minutes before, I've even tried re-downloading it just in case there has been an update within those 5 minutes).
If I go into the Java folder and run ControlPanel the Java control panel pops up and it knows where Java is installed and everything.
So what on earth is going on? Am I installing the plugin in the right directory? I'm guessing so as that is where all the other plugins are stored and Firefox, Chrome and Seamonkey are picking all the others up fine, or could there be an older version of Java lurking around somewhere on my system that Firefox, Seamonkey and Chrome are all trying to use?
I've also tried downloading the RPM and installing that into the /usr/java folder and replacing the symlink from /opt/java to the one in the /usr/java folder and still nothing.
I just really can't understand it 'cos it's picking up all the other plugins like Gecko and even installed Flash in the same way and that works fine.

Thanks cor-el looks like Oracle need to update their linux installation instructions then. If only I'd have known that before doing all sorts to get it working.
I now have Java in Firefox, Chrome and Seamonkey :) :) :) :) :).

How do I disable this feature? As you're opening a new tab or typing in the Awesome Bar, Firefox will check to see if you already have that site open. If you do, you'll be directed to the existing tab so you don't open a duplicate.

When I am in my classroom where I am teaching, I sometimes open a duplicate tab so I can go back and forth while I am grading. This gives me the assignment and grade book open at the same time. This is much faster than opening and closing the two screens as I have to do when I can't open a duplicate site.
If I cannot disable this feature, can I undo this upgrade and return to the previous version? Thanks for your help.
Martin Gordon

When you enter a site in the URL/Location/Address bar and see "Switch to tab" in the drop-down, you can
*use ALT+Enter to open the new (duplicate) tab anyway
*use CTRL+left-click on the original tab and drag it until you see an up arrow from below the break point between two tabs, then release the left-click key, then release the CTRL key to get a duplicate of the tab with all of its history (Back/Forward)
*press the Shift key while an entry in the drop down list is highlighted to disable "Switch to Tab" and see the URL.
*Use the cursor Right key to select an item marked as Switch to Tab in the drop down list and copy the URL to the location bar.
*Open the URL in the current tab by using Shift + Enter on the highlighted entry.
You can install this Add-on to completely disable "switch to tab": https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/switch-to-tab-no-more/

Firefox will not recognize java plugin that has been installed and worked 1 day ago.

I have an IMac with OSX 10.5.8, Firefox 5.0, One day ago it worked fine, today when going to a specific site that requires Java, Firefox will not recognize that Java is installed. I checked for updates and there are none. Java is installed and the site works fine with Safari, which requires Java as well. How can i get Firefox to recognize Java installation.

Apple has removed support for the Java Plugin2 with the latest Java Update 10 for OS X 10.5 Java version, so the Java plugin is no longer available for Firefox versions and other browsers like Google Chrome that require the Java Plugin2.
The Java Plugin2 plugin is still there, but he softlink to it has been removed with this update, so Firefox doesn't find the plugin.
There will be fix for this in the next release (Firefox 5.0.1 or 6), so that Firefox will find the plugin again.
I don't know if all Java applets will still be working on OS X 10.5 with that JP2 plugin (Apple recommends updating to OS X 10.6 for OS X 10.5 users with an Intel Mac).

I'm told that both disabled Java by default in the latest versions. You are notified when Java is needed with a warning and given a chance to override it. Firefox looks like this

I've read that there is a Firefox add-on, or plug-in, that will disable the maddening autoplay that has just recently started to occur when I play YouTube videos.. can I truly disable this thru Firefox?

It's certainly possible that Youtube has changed something...

No matter what I do, I cannot get Firefox to run Java correctly. I've deleted the cache, etc., etc., but my school programs will not run on Firefox.

Firefox (v. 18.0.1) will not run my school programs any more since the Java scare. It also is choking at running screencast-o-matic.
And this is happening on both my computers not just one.
I have emptied Java cache, emptied the browser caches, downloaded the latest Java, Reinstalled it. Cleared caches again, etc., etc., etc.
Firefox will not run Java and I have to use IE which is the only browser that I have gotten the scripts to function so that I can use my programs.

Been there done that. Actually I have even install a fresh Firefox on virgin win8 64-bit laptop (without synchronising to my firefox in general) with the absolutely latest Java - didn't help either. And my test page is not the only one, but as I did this myself I know exactly the contents.
Since then my Firefox is in sync... well more or less as it seems it only sync some ways but that is another matter... but at least most of my stuff is back in place.
What I know is that the egg.html takes forever to load, and that the java part never shows. I think that this goes for most Java places, but I do remember that it was not always the case. Right now even the Oracle test page can't find Java, and I know it could at some point. Reinstalling tells me I already got Java, so it is there, likewise it is active in the plugin window. But some parameter some where must have gone haywire.

Firefox will not recognize installed versions of java

I am running Windows 7 dual boot with Windows XP. I have installed IE, Firefox and Jave on both. Java plugins are recognized on the plugin check page and up to date. When I go to the Java.com website to test the Java version installed from Firefox, Firefox will crash every time. When I test it in IE, the test works. This happens on both the XP and Windows 7. I have uninstalled all, rebooted, loaded IE 8, Firefox, and Java in that order.

If I update firefox 7 will disable my free youtube freestudio, so I will not update at this time.

If I update firefox 7 will disable my free youtube freestudio menu1.0.4 so I will not update at this time. I get this message that some of my add ons won't work, & will be disabled with this update. Also it says my yahoo toolbar will be disabled also. Firefox 6 works perfectly for me... I don't need to fix anything with it. How do I stop getting the update msgs. I will update of course when I can keep my youtube freestudio. I don't choose to disable it. I may have to switch to Chrome or back to internet explorer then.. Let me know your thoughts. I am happy with firefox, the way it is right now. I have no problems with it :) Cyrus

Try asking the Add-ons Developers if they have an Updated version to be compatible with Firefox 7.
