User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061010 Firefox/2.0 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061010 Firefox/2.0 On Windows XP, a registry entry in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MozillaPlugins overrides the plugin.scan.SunJRE entry in the all.js file. If there is a newer plugin found by plugin.scan.SunJRE, about:config shows the dll's for that plugin as well as the ones for the JRE in the MozillaPlugins registry entry, but only the ones from the registry are active. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install JRE 1.4.2 from IBM. 2. Install JRE 1.5.9 from Sun. 3. pref("plugin.scan.SunJRE", "1.5"); in all.js 4. Start Firefox 2.0 5. go to about:config 6. The dll's from both IBM JRE 1.4.2 and Sun 1.5.9 are shown. 7. Visit the http://javatester.org/version.html or any Java version test site. Actual Results: Version 1.4.2 is used, even though the plugin.scan.SunJRE line requires 1.5 or greater. Expected Results: Sun JRE 1.5.9 should be used and Firefox should ignore JRE 1.4.2 Registry entries that causes problem: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MozillaPlugins\@ibm.com/Java] "Description"="IBM Java 1.4.2" "ProductName"="IBM Java 1.4.2" "Vendor"="IBM" "Path"="C:\\Program Files\\IBM\\Java142\\jre\\bin\\npoji610.dll"

Reporter, do you still see this problem with the latest Firefox 2? If not, can you please close this bug as WORKSFORME. Thanks!

This is still a problem in Firefox 2.0.0.4. It exhibits the same behavior.
http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp?detect=jre&try=1 shows version 1.4.2 as well.

The various versions seem outdated now and OJI is not supported anymore. R.Invalid. NB: Open a new bug if you can reproduce with current Firefox versions.
