If all the rumors are true, OSX 10.7 is releasing tomorrow. Here's the list of bugs we know about but I think some more may be coming. We should keep an eye out for anything that may come up that can take us by surprise.

[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=ALL%20su%3A%5B10.7%5D&list_id=816959 Here's] the list of bugs we know about but I think some more may be coming. We should keep an eye out for anything that may come up that can take us by surprise.
With so many bugs, including criticals, maybe it would help if there was a tracking bug filed by someone understanding or working on the Mac OSX 10.7 bugs.

You need to install Java separately on Mac OS X 10.7. I checked at apple.com and Java for OS X Lion (version 1.0) is available here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1421 <br>
'''Quote:''' ''This release installs Java SE 6 version 1.6.0_26. OS X Lion does not provide a Java runtime by default.'' A revision to [[Using the Java plugin with Firefox]] is pending.
I installed Lion yesterday and it seems that when you try to open an application that uses java (Photoshop CS4 in my case), the OS just prompts you to install Java. You click Ok, it installs and then your app opens. It's pretty simple. Hopefully this won't trip many people up.

Too bad you didn't try going to a page that contains a Java applet in Firefox, before you had Java installed, to see what happens - missing plugin alert? Plugin Finder Service? "Inactive Plug-in" graphic after installing Java? (see bug 645556)

It might make a difference if you launch an application that requires the Java runtime (like Adobe Photoshop) or if you use Firefox to browse to a webpage that requires the Java plugin. Adobe's instructions, with screenshots, are here (you can also start the Java install by opening "Applications -> Utilities -> Java Preferences"): How to install the Java runtime (JRE) | Mac OS 10.7 Lion
Update: Here's a YouTube video showing what installing Java on OS X 10.7 Lion looks like, when you use Safari. There's a "Missing Plug-in" button you have to click to start the process, then you click another prompt to install and enable the plugin, then you have to restart the browser.

'''Update''', two finger horizontal swipe fixed in Firefox 8 see [/forums/contributors/707670?last=42767#post-42767]
I also note mention of '''Java''' in this thread, and there are now potential security concerns about use of java see http://blog.mozilla.com/security/2011/09/27/attack-against-tls-protected-communications/
