Firefox 3 messed up Java in Safari

I have a site I use quite often that relies on some java. After installing Firefox 3, not only does this site no longer work in Firefox, but it also no longer works in Safari. I can, however, get it to still work in Camino.
I have duplicated this problem on 3 different computers.
Anyone have any ideas?

Hi,
Can you provide some more information? Such as what is the website you're having problems with and what specifically happens when you try to load the page in both Safari and Firefox?

Java won't work on Firefox, while it works on Safari on a Mac.

I have a MacBook Pro and downloaded Firefox 3.6 for it. Now I've realized that Java plugins won't work in Firefox for some reason, while they do work in Safari that came with the Mac. The problem wouldn't be with Java, since it works on Safari.
The Java-related plug-ins I have installed in Firefox are the Java Embedding Plug-in 0.9.7.3 and Java Plug-in 2 for NPAPI browsers.
When I go to a page that contains a Java applet, there is no error, the page says it's done loading, and there's a blank spot where an applet is supposed to be.

Actually, I have both plugins installed in Mac OS X 10.6, verified by entering '''about:plugins''' in the SeaMonkey 2 Location Bar (address bar)
Java Embedding Plugin 0.9.7.3
 File name: MRJPlugin.plugin
Java Plug-In 2 for NPAPI Browsers
 File name: JavaPlugin2_NPAPI.plugin
This is a new iMac computer I just set up last week running OS X 10.6.4 with all current Apple Software Updates. I have SeaMonkey 2 installed on it, but not Firefox.
I have Java 6 Update 20 ( 1.6.0_20 ) installed, verified by going to the test link in the KB article I posted above,
http://javatester.org/version.html
Java 1.6.0_20 (referred to as "Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 2" on the page cor-el linked) should be available from Apple's [http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1338 Software Update] feature.
Another test link you can try (from about:plugins):
http://browserspy.dk/java.php
I think that the Java Embedding plugin is something that Mozilla includes with all its current browsers (Firefox, SeaMonkey, Camino) based on: http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/OSX.html#Java
...which links to http://javaplugin.sourceforge.net/

Firefox now says Java not installed, yet after checking plugins it is, certain web sites say Java is required, how do i remedy this?

On certain websites, i get the message "Java is required to view this image/page", instead of seeing the image or page. What is the problem, and how to i fix this? It suddenly happend yesterday, i love my Firefox so much better than Safari on my MAC below is critical data for you to view about my Version of Firefox:

Hi Redfyre-
Here is an article on troubleshooting issues with the java plugin:
[[Using the Java plugin with Firefox]]
Hopefully that will help- especially the Java test page.

I did software update, now java in Safari doesn't work.

I ran software update, now Java in Safari and Firefox doesn't work. How do I fix it?

I already tried that.
I am running OS 10.6.8.
I did a "normal" software update (under the Apple icon).. didn't update the OS to a higher level, it's still 10.6.8. But now certain websites tell me that Java is missing or not working. When I go to the Java site, they say that you can only download the newest Java for OS 7 or higher... that Java is automatically part of OS 6 and should have automatically updated when I do a Mac software update.
Java used to work. Now that I've "updated" my Mac software, it doesn't work. And there's no way to download and install Java (according to them).
It's a never ending circle with no solution.

I don't have Java on Safari

I have downloaded safari for windows because it is way faster and easier and first i just had Java.
then i downloaded it again because some site said it was too old i guess (don't know for sure)
but however i downloaded it again and updated it and it now i don't have java for safari anymore...
at the options screen:security i still have them all on and on IE and firefox java still works.
is there any special version of java i need to download especially for safari and howmany bit version do i need???
can anyone please send me the link i've tried to reinstall java again and downloaded all 2 versions of windows based java's and still: nothing.
can anyone help me with this???

Java is no longer installed by default in 10.8, but Software Update will automatically download it when you run a program that requires it. Alternatively, to prompt the system to install it, you can open Terminal from your Utilities folder and simply type the word "java" (and hit return) at the text prompt. Then run Software Update.

Images Viewable in Firefox But Not In Explorer, Safari, Chrome.

I have a coldfusion page with images. The images are called up dynamically from my Mysql database. The image field with my database has the datatype "char(100)". All that is stored in that database field is the file path to the folder of which the image is stored which is: \photos\RSL\1.jpg.
On my webpage, the image placeholder looks like this:
<a href="#Unit_Info.comphoto1#"><img src="#Unit_Info.comphoto1#" alt="" name="1" width="98" height="73" /></a>
This images display just fine on Firefox, But Not In Explorer, Safari, & Chrome. These latter three just show a broken image. Could there be something wrong with either my coldfuson or Mysql file path where each of the letter three browsers are trying to access?
I'm running Coldfusion 9 on my local machine, using OS Window 7 Professional.

When I hard coded the file path it worked. I checked the source code and saw no white space. I even went to each browser's options dialog box to make sure that the show image options were checked. It may be my coding. In my image folder there are categories of other folders within folders that have images of which Coldfusion calls up whenever the browser needs it. Could that be the problem? Should I have all of my 300 images in one folder?

First thing I'd try would be to hard code the expected value and see if that works. If it does, I'd look at the html source code from the problematic browsers and see if there is any unexpected white space.

Firefox is preventing Java from loading Pogo games which require it

I have just updated to the latest Firefox and now java is being prevented from loading Pogo games which require it. I have unchecked the block popups box and enabled java script but each time I try to load I get a message on the java concol saying permission denied. I went to IE8 (yuck) and the game loaded fine.
Help please.

For as much as I spend on membership there I don't need these problems... I DIDN'T update my FF it happened automatically which * me off since i like to wait until all the bugs are gone...

HT1338 Java on Safari 10.6.8

how do I load or upgrade java on Safari 10.6.8

Apple barred Java from running on Macs in order to safeguard users by blocking Java 7 Update 11 and adding it to the banned list in XProtect.
This was the second time in two weeks that Apple had blocked Oracle's code from running on Macs. The threat was so serious that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security had recommended that all Java 7 users disable or uninstall the software until a patch was issued. This time Java is blocked through Apple's XProtect anti-malware feature.
Java has come under fire as the means by which hackers have been able to gain control of computers. In April 2012 more than 600,000 Macs were reported to have been infected with a Flashback Trojan horse that was being installed on people's computers with the help of Java exploits. Then in August Macs were again at risk due to a flaw in Java, this time around, there was good news for Mac users: Thanks to changes Apple has made, most of us were safe from the threat.
Unwilling to leave its customers open to potential threats Apple decided it's safer to block Java entirely.
In order to block older versions of Flash, Apple has updated its "Xprotect.plist" file so that any versions that come before the current one (version 11.6.602.171) cannot be used on a Mac. Users who have older versions of Flash installed will be greeted with an alert that says "Blocked plug-in," and Safari will prompt the user to update to a newer version.
Macs running OS X Snow Leopard and beyond are affected.
UPDATE for those running Lion or Mountain Lion:
Oracle on Friday February 1 released a new version reportedly addressing vulnerabilities seen with the last build.
Apple disabled Java 7 through the OS X XProtect anti-malware system, requiring users to have at least version "1.7.0_10-b19" installed on their Macs. The release dated February 1 carries the designation "1.7.0_13-b20," meeting Apple's requirements.
Oracle "strongly recommends" applying the CPU fixes as soon as possible, saying that the latest Critical Patch Update contains 50 new security fixes across all Jave SE products.
Update for Snow Leopard users:
Apple issued update 12 for Java for OS 10.6:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1573
Note: On systems that have not already installed Java for Mac OS X 10.6 update 9 or later, this update will configure web browsers to not automatically run Java applets. Java applets may be re-enabled by clicking the region labeled "Inactive plug-in" on a web page. If no applets have been run for an extended period of time, the Java web plug-in will deactivate.
If, after installing Java for OS X 2013-002 and the latest version of Java 7 from Oracle, you want to disable Java 7 and re-enable the Apple-provided Java SE 6 web plug-in and Web Start functionality, follow these steps:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5559?viewlocale=en_US
Further update:
Apple issued this Java related security update No. 13 on February 19:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5666
and Update No. 14 on March 4: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1573
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5677
You should also read this:
https://support.apple.com/kb/HT5672
The standard recommendation is for users to turn off Java except when they have to use it on known and trusted websites (like their bank). Javascript, which is unrelated despite the name, can be left on.

I can't install Java in Firefox. Intead Java works fine with IE. I preffer Firefox 4 but...I'm running Win 7 64-bit.

I;m running win7 64-bit and I can;t install Java in Firefox 4. Java works fine with IE.

On Java, I think we've covered the basics. There are a couple of other articles that might help:
[http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Java-related%20issues Java-related issues | Troubleshooting | Firefox Help]
[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Plugin_scanning Plugin scanning - MozillaZine Knowledge Base] (you would want to make sure it is ''not'' disabled; in about:config, filter on plugin.scan and see whether anything has been changed from its default)
On Norton, there are a number of recent threads here, but I have not been reading them. Hopefully someone has posted the answer.

Which was the last version of Firefox that Supported Java Platform 6 ?

I want to know the the last version of Firefox that Supported Java Platform 6 update 45 (Java SE Runtime Environment 6u45) ?
In other words which version of firefox started support for Java 7 ?

Please also give links to the problem pages if they are public so that we and others may test them. You could also consider contacting the sites concerned directly yourself.
Using Java can raise security concerns,and especially so using outdated versions.
* see a couple of Mozilla blogs https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2013/01/11/protecting-users-against-java-vulnerability/ https://blog.mozilla.org/decoder/2012/04/06/why-an-outdated-java-plugin-is-so-serious/

Firefox won't work but Safari will???

Firefox won't work but Safari will?
Firefox was already loaded on my macbook pro but won't work??

Firefox doesn't come preloaded on new Mac's.
So you must have gotten this machine used and the person set up Firefox with a proxy amongst other "tweaks" that your not aware of, possibly even remote access to your machine.
If this is a used machine you bought, ideally it would be best to backup any files you have to a external drive, c boot off the installer disk the other person should have given you and use Disk Utility > Erase > Zero and format the drive HFS+ Journaled. Quit and install OS X and start with a fresh machine.
If you don't have the disk, a $29 Snow Leopard install disk is avaialble from Apple (no iLife programs, sold seperatly) which you can do the same as above.
If you don't want to do this, then delete Firefox and it's Library > Application Support > Firefox folder and reinstall it fresh from Mozilla.
Just reinstalling Firefox alone doesn't work, the support files need to be trashed as well.

OS X Mavericks and Java: OK to download Java as Safari plug-in?

Remote web cam requires Java plug-in on MacBook Pro Mavericks Safari browser to view and operate.
Are there any known problems with using the java plug-in (from the Java site)?
Thanks,
Richard

It's never safe to use Java, as it has got a lot of security problems. However, if you need it, install it. You can install it from the Apple website or the Oracle website, with the only difference that Apple provides Java 6 and Oracle provides Java 7.
If you are not sure you can use Java 7 for the webcam, use Java 6 > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Also, you can disable Java in Safari when you are not using it. Open Safari, go to Safari menu (on the menu bar) > Preferences > Security, and untick "Enable Java". Keep Java updated

Can Firefox be used instead of Safari?

Can Firefox be used instead of Safari?

If you're referring to web browsers on your iPad, there is no Firefox for iOS. There are other alternate web browsers, though, including Opera and iCab. Search the App Store for "web browser".
