A few days ago I tried to e-mail a friend, when I started A box came up and it required me to add a plugin..Java. I contacted my e-mail courier and microsoft, they told me that is was a plugin from Mozilla Firefox. Since then I must go through Java to send or open an e-mail... this is NOT to my satisfaction, it takes too long for all of this to open and if it is not cleared , I am dropping Mozilla and going elsewhere. Why has this occurred? Is this a result of the last update? If so can I delete the last update and continue on the other version?

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== last week

Oracle / Sun supplies the Java plugin, Mozilla has nothing to do with Java except that Firefox uses Java for websites that require it.

Who do I need to talk to to solve this problem? Is Firefox different than Mozilla Firefox.... you are dealing with the village idiot when it comes to a computer.

Sorry, I have no idea what you mean by "The Java plugin has created a time unfriendly issue with my e-mail account, I can not open or send any e-mail without using this plugin,".

If you think your problem is caused by the Java plugin, you should visit the Java support forum for assistance. http://forum.java.sun.com/index.jspa

If you could explain what you mean by "time unfriendly issue with my e-mail account", maybe we'll be able to help you solve that issue.

It might be helpful for us if we knew exactly which web-mail provider you are using. It seems strange to me that viewing or sending web-mail would actually "need" Java for operation, its more likely that some other item on the web page needs Java to run some advertising or other garbage that isn't a necessary part of the web-mail functionality you want to use.

Time unfriendly: it takes about 2 minutes for Java to open each e-mail, then another 2 minutes to reopen if I need to reply to the sender or forward to someone else.


My e-mail account is with windstream, they have told me it was a microsoft requirement, I called them and they told me it was a requirement of Mozilla. And now are you telling me it is not your company, where do I go next? All I know for sure is that I do not want Java messing with my ability to open or send e-mails.

If you do not want to use the Java plugin then you can disable that plugin in Tools > Add-ons > Plugins See also Java

When I disabled the Java plugin, I could not send out an e-mail.
