Have tried both installing Java 8, unistalling it and a version of Java 7 uppd. 67 that doesn´t seem to exist, but still is there... I´ve tried restarting my computer, activating plug in for Java 8, but I still get the message that I Need a plug-in to be able to show content.

With the last Firefox upgrade, some plugins are no longer enabled until you enable it.

Type about:addons<Enter> in the address bar to open your Add-ons Manager. Hot key; <Control>(Mac:<Command>)<Shift> A)

On the left side of the page, select Plugins.

BTW; At the top right is a link to check your plugins.

I`ve already been there and changed the plug-ins... One of the first things I tried.

There´s no Enable or Disable, but it does say "activate always" / "ask for activating" (Aktivera alltid/Fråga efter aktivering: Swedish translation?)

Now what?

BTW...

I´ve only activated Java (TM) Platform SE 8 U25 11.25.2.18 not Java Deployment Toolkit 8.0.250.18 11.25.2.18

With plugins, (these are programs that are separate from Firefox) you can set them to Always / Never / Ask.

Give some details of the problem. What is the web address of the problem? What happens / does not happen? Is it just one site, several, most?

I`ve set it on Always, (was on ask earlier) The site that doesn´t work is the one to my bank.

Did you try to click the two Lego block icons that show in the location/address bar to see what plugin is this about?

As I wrote earlier, I´ve tried the "legoboxes" on the top left side, and still nothing...

The left one sais that Continue and allow (tried several times, and I get back to the same image that tells me I have a plug in missing)

The right one tells me to install Java, but it only works if I do it manually.

BTW: I tried Internet Explorer and I get in that way, but not trough Firefox....???
