Hi, I just updated to the newest version of firefox (5.0.1) and EVERY time I open a new firefox WINDOW (or right click a link and open in a new WINDOW) I get an error that pops up and prevents firefox from opening until I click "ok".
I do NOT have this pop up when I open a new TAB, only when opening a new WINDOW on firefox.
the error says [JavaScript Application] Type Error: comenents.classes['@simile.mit.edu/java-firefox-extention;1'] is undefined
Now, I have looked for that "extension in firefox but I can't find it to disable it.
I don't even know why anything from mit would be on my computer because I don't go mit websites :-/
I have ran my virus program (avast) it didn't pick anything up, I also ran ad-aware, spybot and malwarebytes. none of those picked anything up either.
I went back to the old firefox and didn't have this issue and then dl'ed the new one again and all of a sudden the issue happened again.
I HAVE to have the newest version of firefox in order for one of the websites I frequent to work (since I refuse to IE).
can someone please help. Thanks.
Update:hi Jen jen jennifer... I CAN view videos, not having any other issues except for this. I can't even find this in the extensions list. I've removed all java all together and reinstalled and still having the same issue!
this stinks because there is no one at firefox that actually HELPS with support!! :(
Update 3:I have fixed the issue. I simply cleared my temporary JAVA files in the java control panel. lol :)
Thanks for everyone's help!
Verified answer
Just an outside shot:
Tools> Options> Advanced> Network: Is there anything under "Offline storage" (in the box)?
If yes, maybe clear that.
Also, do you have NoScript?
If not, you may want to get it and see if that helps. It's also a huge security advantage to use.

There is one other place where Java appears, with some checkable items:
Under the "Content" tab> Enable JavaScript> Advanced: in there are a few items...maybe one of them will help.> OK out.
And lastly, did you clear cookies and history? There may be something lingering that's goofing you up...
Good luck.

I can't really help you with that but I'm also having a problem with the latest version of Firefox :(
By any chance can you view videos ? Because it's not letting me.
