When JAVA is running you should see the JAVA icon in the system tray.

Java can't run on my system, it asks to install...

The point being it doesn't ask me to install as it is installed, but then it doesn't appear to use it (no JAVA applet loading or icon in the tray) and the test completes.

The iframe tags are used to retrieve the data of the tests into the actual page and iframe is blocked by the Firefox, Options, Embeddings Forbid iframe if you checked this option, like I have.

Maybe that is why mine failed so horribly...but then IE doesn't have any trouble without JAVA...I don't know...
I do have that setting checked in NS...

Just right click on the iframe place holder indicating it is blocked by your firefox settings and allow the 2 iframes to load and run the test again. It should be able to complete then and you will see it isn't a JAVA issue but your firefox settings (which aren't in IE to easily block or allow iframes).

Ok, fair enough, but why try to install java if it is not used?

Ok, that is better... Only 15 failed this time...still don't see why they push for java installation...

I don't know why they pop-up the JAVA plug-in install, but it doesn't use/require JAVA or IE would fail if it didn't have JAVA (it may has an activeX JAVA handler, which is possibly what one of the tests checks), but it would still require JAVA if it was truly needed.

There you go scotty.. you got what I wanted to tell.

@ sir DavidR,

If it is not using java, then why is it asking as to install java? may be it uses java for a short period of time that u dont see the icon in system tray? or may be you have hidden it?

As I said I don't know why it does that.

It doesn't matter how quick it might be, I'm on dial-up and it still has to download the JAVA applet if it is going to use JAVA, that is what JAVA is about and nothing was downloaded to my system.

I ran the test in a sandboxed Firefox test profile which had no extensions installed.  I disabled both Java plugins through Tools > Add-ons > Plugins before running the test.  I'm using the latest RC of Fx 3.6.4, Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.4) Gecko/20100513 Firefox/3.6.4

The test did not prompt me to enable Java.  The result was: Failed checks: 14

Edit: Same test with same result using Fx 3.6.3
