Java installs but isn't detected

more options

I am installing Java onto my computer, and once it finishes installing, it won't verify on their site, and any sites that check Java say it isn't installed. I see it in my plugins page however, though after I uninstalled it to try something in the troubleshooting, it didn't disappear from the plugins page.

Note that you need the 32 bit Java version because Firefox is a 32 bit application.

I double checked just now and it says Java Deployment Toolkit in the plugins, not Runtime, my bad.
