Lol. Umm. Did you install the plug-in in the right directory? ie \plugins
It's the same also for Firebird.

This is a common problem...it has trouble determining the plugins folder. Go here and install the update from this site (and also for anything else that gives you trouble) and it should start running...it worked when I couldn't get Flash to go.
Edit: helps if you post a link.

Did you click the link to -download- or -install-? Because one will give you the option of dling it to your desktop or wherever, and the other (install) will actually install it into your system by itself (or it should; the Flash one worked like that, anyhow)

Best way to do all this is to get the installer version of Firebird, install that, then goto the plugins (or is it the extensions) page and do the auto-install of Java (as well as Flash and any of the other plugins).
I had problems initially, the latest version of Sun's Java needs certain registry entries set so it can find where to install it, the installer version takes care of that automatically. I had fits getting Shockwave installed (Flash wasn't a problem, Java gave me fits initially, but Shockwave was very particular).
BTW, did you double-click the file that was on your desktop? Sounds like it dumped the download there by default (rather than using the auto-installer), maybe you can just install it that way (assuming you have all the registry entries, there is a .REG file you can get from Mozilla's website for that).
