Its nothing to do with Microsoft, and that's a pretty childish attitude.
If your having problems installing Java for Firefox, go here: https://cds.sun.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/CDS-CDS_Developer-Site/en_US/-/USD/ViewProductDetail-Start?ProductRef=jre-6u4-b-oth-JPR@CDS-CDS_Developer and download it manually. Close all browsers and install, then reboot.
Java should work now in Firefox.

This happended to me too. Manual install worked.
I would like to know why though. Why I had to do it manually.
I could install anything I liked into Firefox with WinXP but with Vista I
have to download manually and then install. Java AND flash both.
