Java running in 1.5 instead 1.6, why?

[gustavopi]

Hello! I'd put Java 1.6 at the top of the list in "Java Preferences" because some web applet are requiring 1.6 (as homebanking) but the browsers pick 1.5 version instead!

When I make a simple version test, both Safari and FireFox returns 1.5. So the setting is not working (I reboot OS allready). What else can I do?

Just drag the latest driver to the top in Java Preferences to make the one that is tried first. Safari will use that version first unless the web site tells it to use an older version.

Hi. I did put the 1.6 version in the top. Now, plus I deactivate all previous versions, leave only 1.6. I'd run the test again in FireFox (http://javatester.org/version.html): the window didn't show any version, and after a while, FireFox crashed. Wow!

Now I'm looking for a 1.6 32 bit non-Apple version, have you see some around?

Thank you.

is getting worse...

I'd install Java for Mac OS 10.5 Update 8. Didn't change anything. Seems like nothing changes. People told me that may be some corrupted file of system. Maybe installing all full Java for Mac, but couldn't found a "standalone" installer.

Other options are: re-installing all system (a real disaster!!!) or upgrading to Snow Leopard (more money and may work, may not)...

Help!
