Could you please click the Firefox button, go to Add-ons, then Plugins and disable the Yahoo ActiveX plugin.
Then close Firefox and restart it again.
The link to http://www.java.com/en/ installs the Java plugin.

thanks for trying to help. the original jxpinstall.exe failed when i ran it. the other jre-6u25-windows-i586-iftw.exe also failed. in addition, i got a message that they were unable to download http://javadl-esd.sun.com/update/1.6.0/1.6.0_25-b06.xml. separately, http://www.java.com/en/ didn't give me a option to download a plugin

OK -That was the solution that worked for me. There was no way on earth that i would have ever been able to figure that out. Your easiness with the answer astounded me. Stay active. People with your knowledge are rare. We need you. Thank you.
This worked fine for me (the Xircal post at the top, not the one just above this). I did it on my XP-SP3/P4 machine
