java not activates, firefox and java updated
I have the latest java and the latest firefox. But i can not enable java runtime to access my bank or my tax report. (Witch i really need to do)
I first got to pop-ups to allow, but then it says plugin not installed. In the dialog popup it says i have to do manuel instal, but when i klick there i come to download site to same version i have. I try download and install that, but same result. But i do have installed, i also uninstalled the old versions.
Everything works good with iex. I followed the faq but all it does is telling me too install java. Wich i have. Java deployment kit and java platform is listed in "utvidelser (Sorry i have Norwegian FF do not know English name) Java deployment has a warning sign. and both is set to ask for activation.
If this is not solved quickly, i will have to replace FF to a browser who allow me to check my bank and deliver my tax report..

There has been a change in the Java security settings, see:

If you visit a website regularly then a possible workaround is to add the URL to the Java Exceptions Site List, see:
- "Why are Java applications blocked by your security settings?":
http://www.java.com/en/download/help/java_blocked.xml - "How can I configure the Exception Site List?":
http://www.java.com/en/download/faq/exception_sitelist.xml
If you click the screen shots you will see that it is not a security prompt to just click allow. It says java is not installed, even i have java installed. As you can see on the other screen shot.

The problem to this is probably found in a bug report reported in Open Java:
A bug in this file, stops Java plugin from being seen in Firefox and you end up in a loop where Firefox continues to ask you to install plugin over and over again.
A fix if, you're up for it are described ( In Norwegian) here: I just discovered this forum post myself hunting for a fix for this problem so all credit belongs there.

In short it describes the need of navigate to pluginreg.dat and edit as:
