It doesn't have to be secure page, just something where you have to enter a username and password, then click on something like "Log In". When I click on it the page reloads instead. It happens only once, the second time I get logged on as you would expect. And it only happens on my Windows computer.

I should also add that it doesn't happen every time.

Your above posted system details show multiple Java Console extensions.
You can uninstall (remove) the Java Console extensions and disable the Java Quick Starter extension, you do not need them to run Java applets.

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Java#Multiple_Java_Console_extensions

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

See Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems and Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems

I uninstalled all of the Java Consoles and disabled Java Quick Starter and that seems to have fixed it!

Thanks so much, it was a very annoying quirk!!
