Aki, is it Firebird or Thunderbird that is having the problem? You said
Thunderbird in your description, but the bug is set as a Firebird bug in the
"Product" box. If it's supposed to be Thunderbird, can you please change it? :)

Sorry! I got mixed with the birds :-), i mean the problem is with firebird, 
not with thunderbird.

OK :)

Please check out the following page:

and look under the question: "How do I install the Java Plugin?"

Apparently you sometimes have to apply a registry patch to get Java to work with
Firebird. This may not be your problem, but it's worth a try, first :)

Lemme know if this works.
