I do most of my e-commerce buying with IE on Windows ME. I decided to try and purchase a weedwacker repair part today using Mozilla 0.9.2 on Windows ME. I browsed www3.sears.com (their parts direct web page) and entered 358799260 as the model number of the weed wacker. An intermediate web page was presented that showed this was a Craftsman Weedwacker and gave me the opportunity to confirm by clicking Continue, which I did. On the next web page, I clicked the radio button that allowed me to view a diagram of the weedwacker's drive shaft and cutter head. A popup window was displayed with the message: Click here to get plugin So I clicked as directed to start installing the Java 2 plugin for Windows. The installation ran to completion. Afterward, I once again tried to view the diagram of the weedwacker's drive shaft and cutter head. I was once again prompted to "click here to get plugin". I exited Mozilla and restarted the browser, at which point I received an audible bell and an error message about needing to restart to allow something to complete installation. So I rebooted my computer and restarted Mozilla--no error now. I revisited www3.sears.com and tried once more to view the drive shaft and cutter head. I was once again prompted to "click here to get plugin". Well, obviously, the install didn't work. I viewed the installed Mozilla Plugins (Help -> About Plugins) and noticed that Mozilla did _not_ list a Java plugin. However, if I open the Windows ME control panel and invoke the "Add/Remove Programs" applet, I see "Java 2 Runtime Environment Standard Edition v1.3.0._01" listed as an installed app. It appears to me that the Java Plugin installation is not working for Mozilla 0.9.2 .

Does it work if you do this : (from the 0.9.2 release notes) Windows: If you're using the Installer build and you already have JRE 1.3.0_01 on your system Mozilla should recognize it. If it doesn't recognize it then follow the copy instructions for the zip builds. If you're using the win32.zip or talkback.zip builds After the JRE is installed on your machine, copy NPJava130_01.dll, NPJava130_01a.dll, NPJava130_01b.dll, NPJava130_01c.dll, and NPOJI600.dll from the install directory (something like C:\Program Files\JavaSoft\JRE\1.3.0_01\bin) to your Mozilla plugins directory (something like C:\Program Files\Mozilla 0.9.2\bin\plugins).

Yes, the workaround in the previous comment (copy DLLs from one dir to another) fixed the bug. Sorry to bother you folks. - Clark
