What exactly is the problem?

I downloaded the installer and it worked fine for me, although it was incredibly slow, leading me to believe it had crashed a few times.

9.3 of firefox and what version of Java?

What install tut you use?

How long did your install take?

Yeah, 9.3 firefox. No idea what version of Java though....latest I guess, as it came from Java's homepage (http://www.java.com).

Didn't use any tutorial, it was an executable. Just double clicked and let it do the biz. Took maybe 30 mins for the install though, looking like it had hanged at a few points.

How many progs did you have running when you did this?

Can you see http://www.dslreports.com speedtest?

Dia · **Posted:** Sat Sep 04, 2004 10:06 am **Post subject:**

Emule and sygate....plus whatever background crap xp had running.

sounds like me also.

I'll try with that stuff off.

But can you do a speedtest at dslreports?

Just found them and tried, they work fine

I had a similar problem.

The solution was to install firefox with it's installer, or manually edit the registry.
The java plugin was looking for a specific registry value to check if firefox was present and refused to work without it.

Used FirefoxSetup-0.9.3.exe From the MAIN PAGE of Mozilla.

Java is installed.

But still get the "Click here to install plug-in" crap.

Dia · **Posted:** Mon Sep 06, 2004 11:01 am **Post subject:**

Have you checked to make sure the "enable Java" option is selected in web features?

satan · **Posted:** Mon Sep 06, 2004 11:11 am **Post subject:**

Of course.

satan · **Posted:** Mon Sep 06, 2004 11:12 am **Post subject:**

Basing on http://www.dslreports.com

Their Speed Test area.

Dia · **Posted:** Mon Sep 06, 2004 11:21 am **Post subject:**

Sorry Satan, I'm out of ideas. The speed test page works fine for me, no idea what could be causing you the problem

Maybe your PC is just shit stan? When I tried firefox I just installed to default directory, and it worked fine with my java.

Nope just got a P4.

My p2450 and WS wouldn't get what was happening.

sp1, sp2, or 2000.=(

I give up, thanks anyway.

Wouldn't blame firefox to quick....

Java didn't , at least on my setup, install smoothly on my xp , and once I did get it installed it crashed or hung up regularly....that is ...till Sp2 :mrgreen:

Damn think got it fixed whatever it was.....

Firefox and Java install, pissing me off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
