@wild, he is asking about java, not flash ;)

As far as I am concerned, IcedTea is crap....and it is 100% broken in Firefox. Anyway, I'd recommend the actual Oracle JRE (the REAL Java package basically) and to install it over IcedTea and enable it in firefox, follow this guide:

I think I should take a nap before posting any more recommendations I blew this one.

Well, wildmanne69, I think you are still well into the positive range despite this one point deduction!

Thanks for the suggestion..This has been done but still firefox will not allow you click to open the notifications/messages icon to view them. Also clicking on the login bar to log into my router is not working..very odd. opera is fine and so was firefox..until now :(
