Thank you for reporting this to Ubuntu. You do not seem to have the Java Plugin installed. Could you please install icedtea6-plugin and see if it works?

Hi Micah,

I found the icedtea6-plugin and installed it the test concerned and
others appear to work fine now.

Thanks for your support.

Did you have ubufox installed? It should have prompted to install the icedtea6-plugin.

Hi Micah,

I have checked and ubufox is installed and I am sure I have not
installed it manually since downloading 10.10
