Need help placing java .dll files in Firefox

<< < (2/3) > >>

Rick:
one, crossing 86 prgrams and 64 bit is always problematic, can never ever solve all the problems and then when an automated updates hits you,
* Blast that dang computer...

un-install, re-install

go to java website, unistall all old java apps, re-install java

nothing else Works not ever will!

Hi Rick,

The Mozilla checkbox inside Java kept getting unchecked. I then tried disabling and re-enabling the plugin.scanplid.all and also deleting the pluginreg.dat file. Both to no avail.

Then I got hung up on your 32-bit/64-bit comment and it got me to thinking. I had installed both the 32-bit and 64-bit Java versions and of course, have the separate plug-ins for IE and FF. But, I started wondering if somehow, the 64-bit was being the bully in this mess.

I went to CP and uninstalled the 64-bit Java. And even though they are supposed to work separately, 64-bit had taken precedence and blocked the 32-bit part! Very strange, especially since I did the 64-bit in the IE browser, not the FF browser.

Now that that's solved, I can reinstall the 64-bit. Sheesh.

Oh well, problem solved! Thanks so much for your input; that really helped me look at this differently.

Boggin:
I have both Java versions should I want to run IE in 64 bit mode but have always installed Java using IE.

FF has picked those up so I've never had to download any special Java plug-in as you have to do for Flash Player for FF and I've never had or heard of the problem you've had.

Which Java version did you install first ?

I always use the See all Java downloads link then install the Windows Offline 32bit version before the 64 bit one.

ComputerJunkie:
Hi Boggin,

When doing the Offline installs of Java, 64-bit took precedence and blocked 32-bit.

Normally, I install Java and Flash for FF in FF and both for IE in IE. But for some reason FF was not picking Java up. Once I uninstalled 64-bit, it allowed 32-bit to activate in Firefox and it even shows up now. It was late so I did not reinstall 64-bit, but when I do, it will be in IE because it's for IE.

But yeah, I have never had this problem before and when researching it, they were saying that sometimes the one .dll will not go to the proper folder and you will have to move it.

I have the newest versions:
Java 8 Update 40
Flash Player 17 Active X
Flash Player 17 NPAPI

However, I do still have a problem I haven't figured out yet. During all of this, when trying to save a bookmark to my desktop, the favicons are not showing up again-still trying to fix that problem.

Shane:
Good to hear you got it working and thanks for helping Boggin :-)
