Firefox has disabled your outdated version of Java - I need older version

I am using a proprietary program that only works with an older version of Java. Before I start using Chrome or IE so that I can actually use my program, I thought I would give Firefox a chance to tell me how to fix this.

This problem is on your Windows 8.1 system?
Depending on how obsolete it is, you might be able to set the plugin to "Ask to Activate" so you can activate it on demand. Older versions, however, may be hard blocked. To check on that, open the Add-ons page using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Plugins. Then find the "Java(TM) Platform SE" entry and see whether you can select "Ask to Activate".
If so, when you visit a site that wants to use the plugin, you should see a notification icon in the address bar and one of the following: a link in a black rectangle in the page or an infobar sliding down between the toolbar area and the page.

  • I uninstalled Java get this messag - Missing JAVA? For your safety, Firefox has disabled your outdated version of Java. Please upgrade to the latest version.

    I am using Windows 7 premium 64-bit. I have uninstalled Java completely through Windows program manager. There is no Java in my list of plugins. Every time I update my plugins I get the following message - "Missing JAVA? For your safety, Firefox has disabled your outdated version of Java. Please upgrade to the latest version." I cannot find Java anywhere on my computer. Checked every troubleshooting website I can find but there seems to be no solution.

    hello, is this happening on the plugin-check page - https://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/ ?
    if so, you can probably safely dismiss this warning since it's likely a mistake. when java isn't present, the site will give that warning message though a webpage cannot detect if this because of java being blocked or if it isn't even installed on the system.

  • HT1338 For your safety, Firefox has disabled your outdated version of Java. Please upgrade to the latest version.How do I do this??

    How do I get an updated version of Java?

    This was the last Java update for Leopard:
    Update 10, 29 June 2011 - This release updates J2SE 5.0 to 1.5.0_30, and updates Java SE 6 to 1.6.0_26. J2SE 1.4.2 is no longer being updated to fix bugs or security issues and remains disabled by default in this update. Support for out-of-process Java applets on Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard has been removed with this update.
    This release is only for Mac OS X 10.5.8 or later versions of Mac OS X 10.5. http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1359
    There will not be any more as Leopard is no longer supported by Apple.

  • After downloading the "new version" of Java 6 times, my plugin-check page states that it has disabled my "outdated version" and asks for me to upgrade. What do?

    Background:
    I have had this problem for several months, now. This problem began when an update came for Java on the Firefox Plugin-check. I promptly installed the new Java update. But the Firefox update wouldn't register that I downloaded it, even after I refreshed the page. So, I got rid of the old Java, and downloaded the new Java again. When the page continued to display the same message it had before, I downloaded it a few more times. Finally, Firefox stopped saying that I was out of date. Then a few weeks later maybe, I check Firefox Plugin, and on the page it says that I am outdated in Java. So I downloaded Java again. But Java was still in the list, with red and said that it needed to be updated. I restarted the computer. Then, I restarted Mozilla Firefox with no add-ons. When Java still appeared that it needed to be updated, I gave up and didn't do a thing more about it.
    Problem:
    Today I decided to check my plugins. Java was not in update the list, and at the top a banner stated, "Missing JAVA? For your safety, Firefox has disabled your outdated version of Java. Please upgrade to the latest version." I clicked "upgrade to the latest version" and was led to the Java page. I clicked the download button. My cache stated that this was the (6) download of that same Java plugin (see background). I chose to re-download it anyways. But Firefox still insists that I have not downloaded it.
    Question:
    Do I need to go to the control panel of Java and change something? Do I need to fix some setting on Firefox? Should I disable Java altogether, delete all Java-related files on my computer, and start all over with Java? What should I do?

    Try using http://ninite.com/java/ninite.exe to install Java. Please note that even though you download it you have to double click it to get it to run and install.

  • I can't download "Acrobat" I get a message that Firefox has disabled. How do I get around this?

  • Was trying to upgrade to firfox 4; how do I undo, and not upgrade. firefox has "disabled" my ability to surf.

    firefox has instructed me to disable "work offline"; I can't find work offline to disable it. I am frustrated, and therefore do not want to upgrade to firefox 4. the so-called improvements have stopped my ability to access my various sites.

    Symantec need to update their Firefox add-ons so that they are compatible with Firefox 4. They have indicated that for Norton 360 they plan to release an update to Norton 360 to support Firefox 4 in early May - http://us.norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20100720113635EN&ln=en_US
    I do not know about the time scale for updates for other Norton products. Pending the update by Symantec, if you want to use the Norton add-ons you will need to downgrade to Firefox 3.6.
    To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
    You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
    To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
    For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

  • Firefox has disabled flash, but I did a fresh install and flash is the newest version. How can I re-enable flash?

    I just did a fresh install of Fedora 15, copied the backup folder of Firefox into the home directory, installed flash using the latest yum package from Adobe, ran all of the extra scripts to install the wrapper for 32 bit apps being used on a 64 bit OS. Upon attempting to open a flash video, Firefox tells me Flash is not installed. Running the Adobe installer (yum package) from the Adobe website reports unable to install package, latest package is already installed.
    I followed the trouble shooting steps from your check plugins website and deleted pluginreg.dat (twice) restarting Firefox each time. No change, Flash Player is still disabled by Firefox.

  • Firefox has disabled Webroot which is my security against malware intrusion. I NEED Webroot to be acitve because of all the sites I go to. How do I get my Firefox back to the earlier version that it was so I can use my Webroot?

    Firefox keeps updating itself even though I don't want it to. Now that I have Firefox 5.0 it won't let my Webroot work. I may have to get rid of my Firefox altogether if this persists.

    Only when i go to a different browser (like IE) after i clear it , then all that shows up is the pages i visited in IE , that is what bugs me , why is IE browsing history sowing up in Firefox ??
    Basically , i can clear the history in Firefox , and then for a example , go to Craigslist , using IE7 (launching it from a complete different Icon , in other words at that time i never open Firefox) , then after closing out , or even leaving open as it does not seem to matter , i go into Firefox , and hit History , and there is every place i visited in IE7 , on my History in Firefox

  • Firefox has prevented an outdated plugin 'adobe flash' from running. This didn't start until the latest Firefox release, and I don't use M$Winblows. Linux only

    I just started started seeing this after the latest firefox release. I see it on M$Winblows at work, Linux and Mac at home, so it isn't activex related for me. I can't upgrade Flash for Linux since Adobe stopped supporting it, but I haven't had any issues up until the last week. And as far as Mac and Windows, they are up to date in patches. Once again engineers just love to make things better. If there was a better alternitive to Firefox I'd use it.

    The outdated Flash plugins is not due to any Firefox version or updates but due to a blocklist of vulnerable Flash plugins made on Dec 11/12. The Firefox 31.3.0esr and 34 were released on December 1st and the updated Flash came out on Dec 9.
    For Windows and Mac 16.0.0.235, 13.0.0.25'''9''' ESR and 15.0.0.24'''6''' are not vulnerable according to Adobe and are not on blocklist.
    For Linux the Flash 11.2.202.42'''5''' is not vulnerable according to Adobe and is not on blocklist while 11.2.202.42'''4''' and older is. Adobe is still supporting the Flash 11.2 with security fixes.
    Get choice of 16.0.0.235 or 13.0.0.25'''9''' ESR for Windows/Mac and the 11.2.202.42'''5''' for Linux at https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html

  • Contribute 3 has disabled connection

    I have been using on a laptop OSX 10.3.9 for a couple of
    years no problem. I just added to a desktop OSX 10.5.4 and ignored
    the register since this is registered. Worked at first but has
    stopped. Contribute no longer works on either computer. FTP is
    working. Older computer says Contribute has disabled your
    connection to this website. Home page is blank and shows that page
    can be edited. Cant see a blasted thing.
    The newer computer shows the spinning beach ball though some
    of the page loads first. Under Contribute>my connections the
    computer icon has a red line through it.
    I understand I can use on two computers, but only one at a
    time. Cannot figure out how to set this up. Tech support no longer
    supports this software.

    Contribute 4 is supported. I bought Contribute 3 when it was
    a Macromedia product, which may be why it's not supported. It's a
    way to force everyone to go to 4.
    You are suggesting a patch on OSX 10.5 is the problem? I am
    using Contribute 3 with 10.3 as well and that has stopped working
    too. This aspect is not an OSX 10.5 patch. I hate it when there is
    more than one thing gone wrong.
    I am supposed to be able to have installed on both, but cant
    figure out how it's supposed to work. I am abiding by the
    EULA.

  • How do I disable your annoying screen urging an update to a newer version of firefox?

    You are annoying me and it may cause me to delete Firefox and use another browser if you do not frankly and forthrightly answer my question and not skirt the issue and pretend you are addressing a question about auto-updates because that is not my question, which in fact is: How do I disable the window you have put on my home page that urges an upgrade to a newer version of Firefox? I simply want to keep the older version because I do not like your newer version, so don't end up like Avira (My former virus protection) and get replaced with a competing product merely because you have thoughtlessly gone overboard with the splash screen notifications. After all, I really do want to continue to say I like Firefox, not I used to like Firefox until... Put another way, its just like "A Few Good Men" Is this crystal?

    Upgrading to Firefox 12 is a '''HUGE security exposure''' because it bypasses UAC on Windows 7.
    I am staying with Firefox 11 and I would like to know how to disable the annoying UAC message triggered by Firefox Updater that pops up whenever I start Firefox.
    Thanks.

  • When I click Tools and then plugins and check whether my plugins are up to date or not, Firefox gives me a notice saying my Flash Player is an outdated version and must be replaced.

    I am trying to do something that requires Flash Player, but even though it shows in my control panel, and it is the latest version, I keep seeing a notice that it is disabled, and it does not appear in the list of plugins, so I don't know how to enable it.
    I have been installing the same version over and over again since yesterday, but when I go to check the plugin, a box appears saying it is disabled. When I go in Tools to the list oif plugins, it is not there! Very frustrating. edit

    In Add-ons > Plugins, you must enable "Shockwave Flash (version)"; that is Adobe Flash. Click the "Enable" button next to it. The most current version is 10.3.183.10, which was released just a few days ago.

    Did you disable all of your plugins? Why?
    You need to re-enable your plug-ins in Add-ons > Plugins, then check them to see if they are current and update as necessary.

    You have multiple old Java Console '''''extensions''''' that Java did not clean-up during updates.

Removing them will not affect the functioning of Java on websites.

    You may need to use '''[[Safe Mode]]''' (click on "Safe Mode" and read) to localize the problem. Firefox Safe Mode is a diagnostic mode that disables Extensions and some other features of Firefox. If you are using a theme, switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes <u>'''before'''</u> starting Safe Mode. When entering Safe Mode, do not check any items on the entry window, just click "Continue in Safe Mode". Test to see if the problem you are experiencing is corrected.
    See:
    '''[[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]'''
    '''[[Troubleshooting plugins]]'''
    '''[[Basic Troubleshooting]]'''
    If the problem does not occur in Safe-mode then disable all of your Extensions and Plug-ins and then try to find which is causing it by enabling <u>'''one at a time'''</u> until the problem reappears. <u>'''You MUST close and restart Firefox after EACH change'''</u> via File > Restart Firefox (on Mac: Firefox > Quit). You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window.
