- In the plugins tab of Firefox I cannot see Java; Java contents in webpages do not load. Here's what I've tried/checked so far: plugin.scan.plid.all is 'true' dom.ipc.plugins.java.enabled is 'true' Recreated the 'pluginreg.dat' file in Firefox profile folder Confirmed that HKLMsoftwaremozillaplugins does not contain any key referencing Java.
- Allowing Java Content on a Website 1. Launch the Firefox web browser. Click or double-click the.
- If you intend to use Firefox 52 you will have the option to enable support for the Java Plugin through a setting in the Firefox configuration. This setting will become depreciated in Version 53 latest and 54 of Firefox. Please make sure that my corrections here respect the original message.
Firefox 11 is disabling Java plugin versions that are below version 1.6 Update 31 or between 1.7.0 and 1.7.2 for Windows computers only. Mac OS X computers are not currently affected by this Firefox update. We recommend upgrading to the newest versions of both Firefox and Java. However, administrators of Windows computers that require these.
Continuing with our effort to eradicate vulnerable versions of the Java plugin, we are now blocking it for all versions of Mac OS X. We had previously blocked it for old Mac OS X versions because they would not be updated anyway, and we were holding off on updating modern versions because of a bug in the Add-ons Manager that is now fixed in Firefox 12.
All users of Mac OS X 10.6 and above should have already been prompted to install this update. In order to avoid the block, please update immediately using Software Update. If for some reason you need to continue using an old version of the plugin, you can re-enable it in the Add-ons Manager.
