A Plugin Is Needed To Display This Content Java Firefox
Leana Eckes
So I am wondering if I can somehow install an older version of firefox and get java to work with it. I was able to get firefox 52 installed and running using a tar-ball from the mozilla site, but java would not run. My only other option is to revert back to 42.3.
BTW, I have spoken with tech support of the equipment that generates the video and they are working on a new way to display the data in a browser without using the java applet, but it is 6 months out.
Thanks to everyone for the help. I understand the new version of firefox does not support the older plugins. I have downloaded the tarball of firefox 52.8 esr and I can run it, but now I need to get java to work with this version. There appears to be no rpms of older versions of firefox (at least that I have been able to find).
Mozilla is aware of a security vulnerability in the current version of Java (Java 7 Update 10) that is being actively exploited and affects any browser using the Java plugin. Firefox users may be vulnerable to this issue if they have the Java plugin installed in their browser. Information on how to check which plugins are installed can be found here.
There is no patch currently available for this issue from Oracle. To protect Firefox users we have enabled Click To Play for recent versions of Java on all platforms (Java 7u9, 7u10, 6u37, 6u38). Firefox users with older versions of Java are already protected by existing plugin blocking or Click To Play defenses.
I need to run an application on from a site in order to run a critical recovery program for a specialized system. It requires java to run. The site offers neither the Click to Play box or the blue icon in the URL. What am I supposed to do?
The first time I saw this alert, it was an alert from Homeland Security advising users to disable or delete Java. When I came to this part of the web, Ken Arnold, James Gosling, David Holmes had just found the Java Programing Language James is known as the Father of Java language, he was at Sun Microsystems too 1984 to 2010 and the deceased Steve Jobs also
I trust these people at Oracle to know what they are doing. I have upgraded to the new Java and will continue to use it. I trust them and not Homeland Security. I do not trust Homeland Security and FEMA with any thing and for sure not my homeland America.
I am not showing Java installed as a plugin with Firefox even though it is, I am also not showing the blue box and I could not find anything to enable plugins in the context menu for the specific page.
Firefox is blocking the plugin component of JRE 7 Update 11. Firefox shows the plugin as version Java(TM) Platform SE 7 U5 10.5.1.255. Perhaps the block includes any Java plugin that is identified as SE 7 U5, regardless of the version number? If this update does fix the vulnerability, then the scope of the block should be narrowed.
In addition to this, you might need to close the browser, open the Java control panel, go to security, untick the Enable Java content in the browser, press OK, then the java control panel again, tick the same checkkbox and press OK.
Is Firefox blocking the plugin installation because Java (Oracle) is attempting to install the non-secure version 1.7 u10 ? Did the JRE FF plugin fail to install due to and error in the Java u11 installation file (possible lack of registry entries from Oracle ) ?

Just to share with you what I did on my Windows 7 32-bit and Firefox 18. I am studying Java and I was trying to view my 1st applet ever in a browser. I got the issue of the plugin, and Firefox asked me to manually install Java as the plugin failed to be installed from within Firefox. I did that then closed my Firefox and started it up again. Firefox asked me if I want to run this applet and I said yes and never ask again. It worked nicely ever since. I have now certified myself as Java Applets Guru, Firefox Guru, and Music Writing Guru (for no related reason).
Following the unhelpful directions I uninstalled Java, ran the M$ registry repair, disabled all protection and reinstalled JRE (and JDK separately). Testing at Java.com causes the plug-in needed warning, responding to which is similarly unhelpful as it sends one, me, back to the JRE download page.
Java is a very important programming language that many websites and applications use with more being created daily. That being said, it is important to have Java installed or enabled on Firefox. If you want to turn on Java support in Firefox, there are basically three ways to do it. You can allow Java content on a per-website basis, enable all Java content, or enable Javascript.
1. Launch the Firefox web browser. Click or double-click the Firefox app icon, which resembles an orange fox around a blue globe. You can find it in your Applications folder on a Mac, or on your Start menu on Windows.
Note: Before we get started on this method, you need to understand the limitations of it. Due to security issues, current versions of Firefox do NOT support Java, nor will future versions.
To enable Java content, you will have to install an old, 32-bit version of Firefox and then manually add the Java plugin. This is possible on Windows computers, but Firefox for Mac defaults to 64-bit, making it impossible to install Java for Firefox on a Mac.
Note: If you accidentally update Firefox or an update gets pushed through, you can reinstall Firefox 51 by deleting the firefox-51.0b9.win32.sdk folder (not the ZIP version), opening the ZIP folder of the same name and re-extracting it, and then re-opening the Firefox 51 app from within the bin folder.
This used to work fine until a week or so ago, and I am not sure what has changed since then. I have just uninstalled what seems to be all the JVM stuff on my machine and reinstalled with the latest recommended Java version from java.com (1.6, update 23). The plugin works fine in IE and Firefox, but in Chrome it fails and the pages that try to use the plugin act as if Java is not installed. I have tried this in both Chrome 8 and Chrome 9 with the same result.
Just now I ran into this issue, which was caused by an MSI installer trying to update Java and fracking things up. Basically Chrome looks at registry to find a better java version than the System32 one, so it accesses this registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MozillaPlugins inhere @java.com/JavaPlugin,version=x.x.x is where the RIGHT path of the plugin is defined. Check that Path entry against the actual path and if it's not matching, that this is the issue. In a 32 bit Windows 7 it should be (or mine is) "C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\plugin2\npjp2.dll".
On the OS X side, if you can't access the control panel, you can whitelist a site by adding it to the file /Library/Application Support/Oracle/Java/Deployment/security/exception.sites. You'll have to create the file if it doesn't exist.
I did all the above however after half an hour still cannot get it to run. I reviewed all steps, I already did correct. Eventually found that although I had closed the chrome user interface, the service still running which means chrome has not yet been restarted, so I killed that chrome process running in background, and IT WORKS!
I agree about the 32 bit Java for Chrome. Anyway, after installing Java for the gazillionth time, still not finding the plugin in chrome, I went to the control panel and clicked on Java 32bit. The Java Control Panel opened. Under the security tab I checked Enable Java Content in the Browser. Under the Advanced tab I checked the box under Java Plugin. Restart chrome and voila! :) Hope this works for you; I've been dealing with this problem for at least a month.
In a tab in Chrome type the following into the omnibar to open the Plugin list: chrome://plugins/. A list of installed plug-ins will be displayed. Find the Java plugin, then check the box "Always allowed".

Chrome and Firefox offer extended release versions for organizations that manage client desktops. Chrome ESR can be kept up-to-date with the existing full version of Chrome at any time. However, Firefox ESR is only updated with every seventh major version, which causes Firefox ESR to overlap with outdated versions. The Firefox ESR webpage notes that ESR may not be supported in every web application because of this version release delay. Institutions who use Firefox ESR should consider deploying the latest release to ensure the best Canvas user experience.
