You didn't understand me:
JRE and JDK are already installed but not the plugins.
I think Tim was saying that you don't need the JDK, just the JRE. The
JDK is kinda irrelevant to plugins.
I'm not sure but I think the browsers have disable the Java 7 plugin due
to a serious security flaw in that particular version. My browser
insists on using the Java 6 plugin. I'd suggest you download the Java 6
JRE. That should allow to install the plugin. (It's no problem having
two versions of Java on the same machine; it works just fine.)
FWIW, my 15.0.1 Firefox runs 10.7.2.10 Java just fine (when
I let it; I've taken to running with the plugin disabled most of
the time). But I'm on Windows XP, while Sven's using Windows 7;
it seems probable that his troubles have more to do with the O/S
environment (bitness?) than with browser-makers' policy choices.
