Not for a long, long time. I assume you had Java enabled in Tools/Options/Content.

I could understand a box with a red X in the corner...but just blank is really wierd. I'd check the version of Java you have installed, and also any anti-virus or ad-blocker settings.

I found it! Apparently some self-extracting zip installers failed to set a registry key that allowed Java in Firefox. I got a registry patch, and everything's Javalicious again.

Which is cool, 'cause I've been learning Java and it would be nice to be able to see the results if I get around to doing any browser stuff.

Ah, glad you found the problem. Give me a shout if you have any problems learning Java; I've been working with it since 1996 and hold the SCJP and SCWCD certifications.

I can't say enough good things about The Java Tutorial. And jEdit. BlueJ can be a good learning tool too.
