Java problem on Firefox.

[ahurd]

I am on Kubuntu Gutsy. I log in to my broker as a new client and get following message:

Java is not enabled or Java is not installed on your machine. Please, enable Java in your browser or install Java.

I look in Preferences--Content and see that Java and Javascript are both checked. Could anyone help me get this working. I would hate to have to use IE. Thanks.

Are you using NoScript in Firefox?
(If so, click the snake and temporarily enable for that site.)

Re: Java problem on Firefox.

If you got to the adept manager

K-menu > System

Search for java6 <- this is sun's java version

select these packages for install:

sun-java6-bin
sun-java6-jre
sun-java6-fonts
sun-java6-plugin <-this is important for firefox

or alternatively open konsole and paste this code

sudo apt-get install sun-java6-bin sun-java6-jre sun-java6-fonts sun-java6-plugin

It will ask you to agree to some terms and conditions, one installed, test java using this web address
