I am using Firefox newest version. I have tried everything, even closing the browser and installing it, then reopening the browser. I don't know what's going on. I need your brain to pick the problem....so to speak. Please help.
Thanks in advance,

What version of Java is it?

It's the version the chat room says I need to download. I recently upgraded my computer and it didn't have Java on it, so when I clicked the link for chat the window showed to download the plugin which is Java 7 with Update 10. The download is the same on the Java website.
I have windows 7 now on my computer, if that helps you.

Any thoughts on this issue? I could use your help.
Thanks and Happy New Year to you and yours.

Ok. My thoughts on the issue right now is that I don't have enough info which is why I'm asking these questions. So.. more questions:

1. Do you still get the same error?
2. Where are you trying to access chat from (front page or from within the forum area)?
3. Did you try another browser like I had asked earlier as I still suspect that Firefox didn't "register" the java properly? (e.g., Chrome, IE)
4. Do you have anti-virus in place that does an active scan of websites while you visit (and thus potentially preventing java from running).

I only get this error when I use Mozilla Firefox, chat works using IE.
I checked the plugin on Mozilla to make sure it was enabled, it is. I disabled and then enabled it again, still don't work for chat. I tried turning off all other plugins on Mozilla and still don't work for chat. It's something to do with Mozilla Firefox not recognizing Java or blocking it. I hope no one else is having issues with this crap. Your profound brain of technology can help find the answer, I am at a loss. I even tried turning off my antilogger, antivirus, etc and it still won't work with Mozilla. I guess until maybe you can come up with an answer, If I want to use chat, I'll just have to use internet explorer.

PS. I seen some articles about not using the older version of Java because they were malicious stuff involved with being able to get into your computer and do stuff to it and Mozilla is blocking them so you can't use the older versions. But that didn't say it was blocking the newest version that I have.
I'm lost on this one Linus. I do appreciate your assistance trying to figure this crap out.

You may want to read through here: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Java This issue is specific to Firefox and I know that I've run into occasional issues with it.

I read through and it's just icky to understand since I am not that computer savvy. I am thinking that this thing is blocked. the plugin is enabled, I don't see anything else that would cause it not to work. I don't have to click it to play.
Boggles my mind on all the issues with it and Mozilla. UGH.

Thanks for helping me out Linus. I do appreciate ya bro.
