Description

[jeff]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130

When launching Mozilla I get this error:
------
Java Plug-in Error

Java Plug-in for Netscape Navigator should not be used in Microsoft Internet
Explorer.
Please use Java Plug-in for Microsoft Internet Explorer instead.
------

I have uninstalled Java, uninstalled/reinstalled Mozilla, and it still happens.
 Prior to reinstalling this would crash the browser and start the quality
feedback agent...now the browser will launch but the error appears at every launch.

Are you spoofing the User Agent?
If Mozilla says it´s IE, it can´t use the JAVA for Netscape ...

Comment 2
