Sun Java Platform Standard Edition 6: Version 1.6.0 (build 1.6.0_03-b05)

Everything worked last week with FireFox 2.0.0.7 but, since the upgrade to FireFox 2.0.0.8, Java has not worked. I originally suspected that Yahoo Fantasy Sports was the problem but I just realized that everything still works on MSIE7.

It was working immediately before the upgrade so I really should have been suspicious of the FireFox update but all previous updates have gone swimmingly. I'll just use Yahoo under MSIE7 until FireFox issues another update/fix.

Tried reinstalling the JRE?

I just tried and everything's working fine here on 2.0.0.8.

I can't seem to do that. At least not with the online tools.

I click the manual install button and I get to a download button that proceeds to try to use Java to test my installation. At that point it fails.

I suppose I could uninstall and reinstall but it isn't really worth the bother right now.

Inspite of the fact that it may seem to be a FireFox problem, I still blame Sun.
