Java plugin for business objects not found. When trying to modify a business objects query, it says a plugin is required but none are found. What do I need to do?

I downloaded firefox 4.0 and attempted to use business objects. A screen comes up saying that a plugin is required but when I click on the screen, it say's no plugin is found. I am using the latest version of Java but it seems that the plugin is not there.

There is workaround.

  Enter “about:config” in the browser’s address bar. 
  Search for “html5.parser.enable”. 
  Double-click the row to set the value to “false” (row should also go bold to indicate change). 

There is a possibility that it may cause HTML5 compatibility issues down the road but it solved the issue.

I downloaded firefox 11 and I'm getting this problem again. I checked the setting for html5.parser.enable and it is set to false. Any other settings I should check?

Firefox 10 and later no longer support the html5.parser.enable pref to disable the HTML5 parser, so it is no longer possible to use that if websites do not work with the HTML5 parser enabled.
You can right-click the html5.parser.enable pref on the about:config and reset it to the default to remove it on the next start of Firefox.
