Good day to all,
I like to start by saying "i love this browser" and have not ever before experienced any difficulties with it. Pale Moon has been my primary browser for the last 4 years.
Today i updated my Java version to the newest update (version 8, update 51, released 14th July '15). However, on completion of this successful installation, i have been unable to verify Java on my computer. The website from Java, gives as explanation, that java is either disabled or not installed.
Tried to resolve this step by step:
- Restarted browser
- Restarted pc
- Read the faq from java, double checked the java configuration tool and ensured java is being enabled in browsers.
- Manually removed Java and made sure i had no older versions still running.
- Manually downloaded/installed Java again, with same end results.
I have a few plugins/extensions, but they never before caused any issues. Have re-checked these plugins/extensions for known issues but came up empty.
Really hope i am overlooking something simple, so that is why i joined the forum, took 2 hours to read up on related issues and decided to create this new topic. I have included 2 attachments that provide some basic information about my system, using the "About:support" line in address bar, and the dxdiag tool.
To all whom haven taken the time to read my thread, made suggestions or handed out solutions, Thank You.

Re: Java (v8,update 51) not working
Did you make sure to install the correct version of the Java Runtime Environment? if you are using Pale Moon x64, then you must also make sure to install the 64-bit plugin version of Java.
Going to about:plugins may also provide a little insight - if it is actually installed but disabled, for example.

Re: Java (v8,update 51) not working
Thank you Moonchild for the fast reply,
I forgot to mention this in my previous post, but yes, i have downloaded and installed the x64 on the 2nd attempt to install it. The first time around, Java auto-update reminded me i had yet to download and install the newest version.
I have included the list from about:plugins as attachment, but as far as i can see,, it should be running...

Looks good yes -- which makes it very likely something is blocking access to java on the web; either an extension, security software, antivirus, "web filter" or similar.

Re: Java (v8,update 51) not working
@ the end, it proved to difficult for me to find the cause of my issue...
Have uninstalled and re-installed the Pale Moon Browser, downloaded and installed Java, verified it worked. Then reinstalled the extensions and plugins i had running, and java is still working.
I am considering my issue "resolved". Thanks for the effort to help me out Moonchild, much appreciated.
