O/s Win XP 64 bit - Java latest version installed but Firefox Nightly 64 bit will not recognise it after re-install 3 times & re-loading FireFox, IE does see it
Although I had Java latest version installed and IE and Chrome recognise it, i can't get Firefox Nightly 64bit to see Java. Websites with Java functionality in Firefox report that i need to install Java.
I re-installed 3 times, I cleaned out older Java versions and did all other steps in Firefox help articles.
If I go to Firefox plugins page, its says the only plugin I have is Shockwave. If I select the Java option, it tells me to download and install Java - which I have done before several times.
I have shut down and re-opened Firefox many times to get it to see Java.
Java is installed to c:/Program Files(x86). Is Firefox looking for Java in c:/Program Files ??
The website in question is the nVidea driver download page at http://www.geforce.co.uk/drivers, where the auto-detect correct driver function is a Java function. In the end I had to use IE to run the Java function.

hello, for the 64bit nightly version you also need to install the 64bit version of the java plugin - when it's currently only present in c:/Program Files(x86)on your system, it indicates that you only have the 32bit version of the plugin. also download & run the 64bit windows installer: http://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
