java console not compatible with 6.01 Mozilla update

Firefox

Since the 6.01 Firefox update, I can no longer view flash panels and some images are not appearing on web sites. I look and found all the java consoles greyed out with the message they were incompatible with 6.01 Firefox. So what do I do now? I also notice that websites suddenly disappear when I did not close them. Please fix this problem.

You can uninstall and remove Java Console extensions, you do not need them to run Java applets.

See:

If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains.

  • Check the permissions for the domain in the current tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
  • Check that images are enabled: Tools > Options > Content: [X] Load images automatically
  • Check the exceptions in "Tools > Options > Content: Load Images > Exceptions"
  • Check the "Tools > Page Info > Media" tab for blocked images (scroll through all the images with the cursor Down key).

If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "Block Images from..." then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

There are also extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images.

Hi catnip009:

I can confirm cor-el's information that it is "normal" for the Java Console extension to be disabled in FF6 (see my post here for instructions on how to test your Java installation).

When you say "flash panels", do you mean that Adobe Flash doesn't seem to be working on some web sites with FF6?

If that's the case, then try the following:

First, check your Flash installation here on the Adobe web site. If your Flash isn't working or you don't have the latest Flash v. 10.3.183.7, do the following:

  1. Uninstall Adobe Flash from the Windows Control Panel
  2. Download and run the Adobe Flash Uninstall Utility to clean out remnants of any old installation
  3. Re-boot your PC
  4. Run the Adobe Flash Uninstall Utility again for safe measure
  5. Download the Adobe Flash v. 10.3.183.7 standalone plugin installer (the non-IE NPAPI version) from the FileHippo site here . Be sure to download v. 10.3.183.7 (the current stable version) and not a beta test version. Save the installation file to your hard drive and do not run the installation from your browser
  6. Install Adobe Flash from the Run command (Start | Run) with the new installation file with all browsers and instant messenger software closed
  7. Check your new Flash installation here.

If you also use the IE browser, the ActiveX version of Flash v. 10.3.183.7 for IE can be downloaded from FileHippo here. If you prefer you can re-install Flash from the Adobe site (here for auto-detection of OS and default browser; here for any version of Flash), but I prefer using the standalone installers from FileHippo because Flash occasionally doesn't install correctly when you run the installation from the Adobe site via your web browser.

Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit SP2 * IE 9.0 * Firefox 6.0 * Java 7.0 * Adobe Flash 10.3.183.7
