After spending 5 hrs on this, I give up.

I can't run any applet in Firefox nor in chrome.
  
Each time I try, browser tells me a plugin in missing
and sends me back to install jdk 7 u10, which I do, and
the same thing happens. Going in a cycle.

Just wanted to find out if there are any issues with this.

I can run applet in IE 9.0, which is strange. But not in firefox
and not in chrome.

Here is my setup:
windows 7, SP1, 64 bit OS. Tried Firefox 18.0 (latest)
and chrome (latest)

I made sure that the 32 bit JDK is installed

           jdk-7u10-windows-i586.exe

I tried many things. I uninstalled all java, rebooted, installed
the above again. Closed all the browser, start again. Each time,
the same thing happens, the browser tells me I am missing
a plugin when I try to run an applet, and it sends me back oracle
web site to download and install JRE 1.7 u10, which I do have
already installed:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_10
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7

I go inside Firefox tools-addons, and I see it is enabled. it says

"java deployment toolkit 10.10.2.18  7.0.100.18
NPRuntime script plugin library for Java deploy)
last updated wed January 9 213."

and it is enabled.

I also tried JDK 7 u10 64 bit,

      jdk-7u10-windows-x64.exe

and also the same problem. rebooted, everything, keep getting
the missing plugin error from Firefox and Chrome.

So I have no idea what to try next. Chrome same problem. Will not
run any applets, keep sending me to install the same JDK.

What should I try next? if you like more information, please let me
know.

thanks,
