I had to wipe out my hard drive completely due to a mallware infection.... I re-loaded Firefox as my Browser and am trying to re-load another program that requires Java to be "enabled"... ( This program was also previously installed ) The Help info tells me to use the TOOLS menu in Firefox, go to Add-ons, and and click the Java plug-in to enable it.. Java does NOT appear on that list tho and I'm not sure where to go now or if I'm even in the right area.. Can you help ?
