I have tried all the solutions suggested in firefox java plug-in related posts and forums - nothing works. am asked to install missing plug in and then told non suitable are available - hello, ever heard of java. am told to do plug-ins reset - that does not work. how about reinstall java - i do and it does not appear in firefox plugins - works great in safari though.

As a long time firefox user i am very disappointed that they have not been able to address such a fundamental browser issue and i am now forced to use safari which at least has no problem loading java content. please firefox, wake up and fix this.

Hi, Thank u for the reply. Have latest java. I am assuming that enabling 64 bit for osx 10.8.4 means unchecking 32 bit in 'get info', so did that and problem solved.

Many thanks.

Is Firefox running in 64 bit mode?

You can find the latest Java version on the Oracle website.

See Java Platform > Java SE 7U25 (JRE Download)
