Just did a fresh install of Win8 on a totally new machine. Installed latest FF (15.0.1) and Java 7. Everytime I go to a page requiring Java it says I need the plugin. I've searched all over the web and can't find an answer although others have had the same problem and appeared to have worked around it.

Reinstalled FF Reinstalled Java Tried running program in Win 7 compatibility mode

If I go to Control Panel -> Programs -> Java -> Advanced and look at Default Java for Browser, it's set for IE, but the box for FF is unchecked. I check it, hit apply or OK (tried both) and after the window closes, I go back in and FF box is unchecked again.

about:plugins shows Java installed. At wits end here....

I'm not posting from my Win 8 box so installed plugins is hand typed.

What version of Java do you have? It should be Java 7 update 7. All older versions (Except 6 update 35 I believe) are vulnerable to a major security issue and have been blocked.

also, make sure you have the 32 bit version of Java installed. 64 bit won't work in Firefox.

I do have Java 7 U7. I originally had both 32 and 64 bit installed, now I've got it down to 32 bit only. Still no joy. I go to a website and it tells me to install the plugin, I try to and the installer says it's already there. Now there is a difference though, the Java console shows Mozilla Family checked but it no longer shows as being installed in the plug ins on the troubleshooting info page.

Here's the Troubleshooting Info as I'm back on there now.

I had gone back to 6.35 that ideato had suggested, that installed and shows as a plug in in add ons, but the website that I'm going to (solitairenetwork.com) looks to be pushing 7.7 pretty hard, it says I need it, so went through the install again and it's behaving the same way.

Maybe it's my clue I should quit playing solitaire?  :-/
