How to enable Java in Firefox

[Londoner]

Hi

After using IE for some time I have freshly installed and updated Firefox and it is now version 1.5.0.7

I cannot use my virgin.net online email because it tells me java isn't enabled.

I've gone to Firfox - tools - 'options' and java IS enabled.

I did a search on the problem and discovered that I had to open the Windows control panel - Java controls and enable Java there - I went to Java control - advanced tab - tag support - and sure enough when I opened it, Java was enabled for IE but not for Mozilla and Netscape, so I clicked to enable but get this message:

X Warning - Browser
Unable to change browser settings
Please chaeck that Mozilla or Netscape is properly installed on the system and/or that you have sufficient permissions to change system settings.

I have one account on this laptop and I am administrator.

Any ideas?

Thanks for reading,

Hmm, that is quite a conundrum. You could try reinstalling firefox. You might try this extension, too, but I think reinstalling it might fix your problem, or uninstalling and reinstalling the latest version of java.
