What version do you have installed?
im actually not sure,i just uninstalled it,im going to try to re'install,if it doesnt work,ill reply,i think it was like... version 6 or sumtin
You have Java 1.6.0.21 installed which is the latest version. However, it appears you need to change a setting in Java:
- Open Java Control Panel: Windows Start>Settings>Control Panel>Java
- On the Java Control Panel, click the Advanced tab
- Expand or double click Java Plug-in
- Click in the box to place a check mark for "Enable the next generation Java Plug-in"
- Restart Firefox
You need to update your plug-ins. It is important to keep them updated due to continuing security fixes and improvements in those plug-ins:
- Shockwave Flash 10.1 r53
Check your plugin versions: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
- Note: plugin check page does not have information on all plugin versions
- Update Shockwave Flash
- Use Firefox to Download and SAVE to your hard drive (link in article below)
- After download completes, close Firefox
- Click on the file you just downloaded and install
- Note: Vista and Win7 users may need to right-click the installer downloaded and choose "Run as Administrator"
- Note: Most browsers other than IE will also get updated with this one download
- Note: To update IE, same procedure but use IE to go: http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe
- After installation, restart Firefox and check your version again.

If you follow the link in the article (last item in the Update Flash instructions that I posted above), you will avoid any problems associated with getplus. The link supplied in the article takes you to a download at Adobe where you avoid getting that.
