Suddenly my Java plugin is missing and i can't load any Java with Firefox at all, even though i have it enabled in the browser! i've tried loading in java embedding plugin, but it doesn't work. what should i do???
MacBook, Mac OS X (10.5.8)
It's not in Tools> Add-ons >plugins? Should be Java Plug-in 2 for NPAPI browsers 13.5.0. What are you seeing there? I don't think it's called the embedding plugin any longer.
Might try getting the Firefox 5 standalone application. Trash the current one and replace it. Doing this won't affect your Profile or any settings.

If it's enabled, how can it be missing?
If this doesn't work, ask here. No need to register. Make sure you put (Mac) in the title.

EDIT. Oops, may be different for 10.5.8. Was thinking recent Java update for 10.6. But try installing a new app anyway. In the past, this got me the latest Java plugin.
its not in the list of plugins.... **** it.... under libraries\internet plugin\ there is this javaplugincocoa.bundle, but when i go to Tools> Add-ons >plugins, the java plugin is not there... this is quite crappy.... tried removing firefox and getting a new one, but it didn't work too...
Ask over at Firefox support.
For the record, on Mac OS X 10.5, Apple's Java Update 10 removed support for JavaPlugin2, preventing Firefox versions 4.0 and above and other non-Apple browsers from detecting that Java is installed. Mozilla fixed the problem in Firefox 5.0.1 and above so this should no longer be a probem if you applied the latest Firefox update.

I am running 10.5.8, and just updated my java to java 5 update10. Now my firefox is missing the Java plugin, and I can't load any Java applet at all. When I try it with Safari, it hangs when certain Java applet loads. HELP!!!
