"java console not supported" in 2.0.0.x

java 6u1 not working anymore with new firefox.
Don't really care whether Firefox or Sun caused this problem - but it's mine now. I'm not a programmer or even a computer buff but all I know is I downloaded the Firefox update - yes, it warned me Java would not be enabled - now most of the websites I use (internet banking, share trading etc) do not work atall. Some sites I cannot even log on to. I never thought I'd say "thank the Lord for Internet Explorer" but that's what I am saying now. How do I go back to the earlier version of Firefox?

I'm not sure whether its the max version or not but the scripts do not work properly giving errors... pages load slowly after update to latest version... 2.0.0.4 is incompatible with java script console 1.6.0.1 latest... I can't even open gmail... deleting hidden extension did nothing. Something weird... Any ideas?

Read this http://kb.mozillazine.org/Error_loading_websites
Then work your way through this if that has not solved it http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox
By the way Java is not the same as Javascript.

The first thing I did when I got the error, is open the extensions list and obviously it wasn't there. I don't think an external program should be allowed to install an extension in Firefox and then hide it.
As I originally installed java because I needed it in OpenOffice, what java has done comes dangerously close to spy-ware as far as I'm concerned (in the sense of installing something extra).
No need to remind me that I willingly clicked the "I agree" button
Considering it was java, I probably clicked ok / agree like 20 times to install it and get rid of the firewall warnings ....

I might have missed the warning if they do tell.
It is not an extension. It is a plugin. And you choose to install java. Do you read ULA's?

Malliz, there is both a plugin and an extension. Read jeronimo's reply to your previous post:
You are adding to people's confusion by repeating that this is not about an extension; it is. The JRE plugin installs and works fine in 2.0.0.4 and is all that is needed by most people. The problem is that the hidden extension, which is installed by stealth, doesn't have correct version information.

I don't think plugins normally depend on browser versions anyway (or change the user interface), just the operating system.

Seems it's a plugin AND an extension. And that extension is hidden. So the question may be allowed.

I have just downloaded version 2.0.0.4 and now it just doesn't work. The address page remains blank and when I click on any of my links, they just say 'done' in the bottom left corner anad the page remains blank.
I am not sufficiently adept at rectifying the problem. At the time of update, I was informed of a java console disable, but other than that, I have no more information. I really need it to work. Some of the links are invaluable for my work. I have removed registry entries and the program, reinstalled etc; all to no avail.
Help, please, anyone?
