186913 - Error message on startup and no Java

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 83376

(Core Graveyard :: Java: OJI, defect)

Description

Since upgrading Office 2000 to Office XP and also installing the 12/26  Mozilla
build on win2k, I now get an error message when Mozilla starts up that says
something like: "Do not use the Netscape Java Plugin for Internet Explorer"
and even though the Java plugins are installed (about plug-ins), I get no Java
functionality.

I have no idea why Java thinks I am running IE at startup.

Any ideas what could be happening?

I figured this out. I had the Mozilla PrefBar set to say I am IE (so some sites
will work). When I changed this back, all worked again.

However, if we are going to masquerade, shouldn't we make it so that the plugins
are not also fooled?

I will leave this open because that might be a bug.
