java doesn't seem to run on anything, even chrome. What do I do?
I have emptied my caches, started firefox in safemode, and nothing, with java will not run. I've downloaded the latest java version multiple times, and still nothing. From what I read on the previous screen, other people are having problems with java too. Perhaps it is a oracle problem?

Hello,
In Firefox 23, as part of an effort to simplify the Firefox options set and protect users from unintentially damaging their Firefox, the option to disable JavaScript was removed from the Firefox Options window.
However, the option to disable JavaScript was not removed from Firefox entirely. You can still access it from about:config or by installing an add-on.
about:config
- In the address bar, type "about:config" (with no quotes), and press Enter.
- Click "I'll be careful, I promise"
- In the search bar, search for "javascript.enabled" (with no quotes).
- Right click the result named "javascript.enabled" and click "Toggle". JavaScript is now disabled.
To Re-enable JavaScript, repeat these steps.
Add-ons
You can alternatively install an add-on that lets you disable JavaScript, such as
- No-Script (to disable JavaScript on a per page basis, as required)
- QuickJava (to easily disable and enable JavaScript, automatic loading of images, and other content)
- SettingSanity (adds back removed options for JavaScript, Advanced JavaScript Settings, loading images, and showing the Tab Bar)
Thank you and I hope this helps!
Jacob.Livingstone, the Java and JavaScript are not the same thing. http://kb.mozillazine.org/JavaScript_is_not_Java
Hello navylady, it seems in your system details that you have the latest java install, please see : How to enable Java if it's been blocked
if still java doesn't not work then try to remove older versions of Java or the current one and then try to install manual the windows offline full installer (filesize: 27.7 MB).
thank you
