Help: Windows 7 + Java + Firefox = No Applets
Hi,
I am having an issue where Java applets do not run. I've gone searching the web via google and bing looking for solution and most of them came to this site. I've tried all solutions presented, but none have worked.
I've gone to Sun's website, and Mozilla website for support and have also tried all their suggestion. (Sun's seems very outdated)
With all my searching I've found several people have the same issue so I would think Sun and/or Mozilla would have a special topic on it.
Things I've tried and can be ruled out:
My account is an administrator account.
- Re-install Firefox 3.6.3.
- Re-install Java 1.6u20.
- Cleared out all entries of Java Applet Plugin from Firefox plug-in manager. (There were none.)
- Attempted to "turn on" Java in Firefox, but the option was not available.
- Went into Java Console in the Control Panel, went to "Advanced" -> "Default Java for Browsers" and found only "Internet Explorer" check off and greyed out. I enabled Mozilla Family, and hit "Apply" then "Ok". This did not work, going back into the Java Console in the Control Panel revealed that "Mozilla Family" was again unchecked. So I tried this several more times.
- There was a suggestion to -turn off- "Advanced" -> Java plug-in in the Control Panel as well, but my option is checked and greyed out.
- I had the same issue as #5 on another software, and I tried running that other software with "Run as administrator" and checked all the options and hit apply/Ok and this time the options stayed. Learning this, I tried all sorts of combinations of "Running as administrator" for the Java Control Panel and had no success.
- One suggestion was to copy certain .DLL's from the Java/bin directory directly to the Firefox plug-in directory. However, I did not have all the .DLL's they suggested, but their suggestion was for an older version of Java so I tried what I thought would be the equivelant with no success.
I hope I haven't forgotten anything else I tried.
Thanks for any help you can provide in advance!
