I seen a topic similar to this a couple days ago. However, I think my problem is different. When I click "play game" the only thing that loads is the top bar. When I wasn't logged into the site, the ad at the top loaded as well. I tried logging in to see if that would make a difference, but it doesn't. It doesn't even try to load anything from java. Java doesn't open in my taskbar at the bottom. Usually it does. I cleared the private data / history on my computer last night. Would that affect anything? You'd think it wouldn't.. Anyways, is there anything I should try?

 

EDIT:

I went to this link:

http://java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml

And nothing is loading.. It has something to do with Java is my conclusion.

Have you try the official Runescape client?

Download link: http://www.runescape.com/kbase/guid/Downloads_and_Wallpapers

Oddly enough.. that worked. Thanks. :) Not sure whats causing it not to work in Firefox.. but whatever. Nothing wrong with this client anyways. :)

Ok, well then your Java is working correctly and your problem is most likely due to Firefox settings. Try to see if Jagex has any FAQ regarding Firefox and any needed settings.

As a last resort, you could uninstall and reinstall Firefox.

 

If that still doesn't work, I recommend switching to using the Runescape client or SwiftKit from now on.

I used to always use swiftkit.. it was wonderful. But then it stopped working for me (because it uses internet explorer.) My client is stuck at "checking for updates" btw.. Gets to about 45% and then it stops, sometimes jumps back down to about 43%. Guess my problem isn't solved. :(

Have you tried just downloading the latest version from the site: Swiftkit.net?

It used to not work for me too (can't remember the exact problem), but now it works fine...

I will try later. I'm working from my laptop at uni, and I have limited battery power, and I need to save some for a class later. :P Just tried restarting my computer, that didn't work.

 

Everything worked perfectly fine until I cleared all the history from my browser yesterday..

 

EDIT: I reinstalled Java with firefox, and now it's working for firefox too. But I'm still stuck at this stupid checking for updates portion. I'm starting to get really frustrated. :P Maybe I should just come back later. Any suggestion people have are totally welcome.
