java broken

Postby Little viking on Mon Dec 19, 2011 2:47 pm

Hallo,
all of a sudden I can't use Java anymore. Everything inkl. plugin seems to be installed.
It appears to be installed but the browser says it isn't when I need it. Both in Firefox and Chromium. In Chromium it says "missing plugin".
I have tried to un-reinstall, restart the computer. Even tried to un- and reinstall Chromium.
Nothing works.
The Java Control panel can be opened no problem.
Any idea what happened?
Has this anything to do with the new version of Firefox? Is there something about a quickstarter?
Help is very much appreciated.
Yours,
Little Viking

Thanks, this did indeed work.
But what was and more importantly what caused the problem?

[Edit] your original post and add [SOLVED] once your question is resolved.

“The people are my God” stressing the factor determining man’s destiny lies within man not in anything outside man, and thereby defining man as the dominator and remoulder of the world.
