Java Not Working On Firefox and 10.7.2

One Java s installed in Safari, Firefox 7 only displays an empty box in OS X 10.7.2. This seems to apply to all versions of Firefox post 3.6.(23). Has anyone else seen this problem? I there a solution?

I have the same problem with Camino (Mozilla's MAC browser). Though JAVA is showing in utilities and enabled it's only working for Safari. Trouble is that my work site does not like Safari, never has so had to use Camino there instead.
Is JAVA a problem with other browsers like Opera, Chrome & Firefox? Iv never had problems in the past with Camino because it's specifically build for MAC. But with the upgrade to Lion ... it's stopped working on the employer site due to JAVA.

SOLVED Java not working in Firefox

I was talking about icedtea 3.x for openjdk 8, not icedtea-web 3 (is there icedtea-web 3?). icedtea provides a more opensource-friendly build environment for openjdk and the openjdk7 packages are built using icedtea 2.x (you can see in the version). icedtea 3.x for openjdk8 isn't ready now, so Arch ships the "vanilla" openjdk built directly from Oracle's source. Arch will switch to icedtea as soon as icedtea 3.0.0 releases and then I guess icedtea-web will work with java8-openjdk. icedtea and icedtea-web are totally different things are they always cause a lot of confuse.
You can just install java7-openjdk (it doesn't conflict with java8-openjdk) and switch to java 7 using archlinux-java command at least it works on my machine.

JQuery/Javascript not working on Firefox and Chrome

Hi guys, I've had this Jquery/Javascript on my page for a long time. This has stopped working. If the user clicks on buttons on the Apex page, nothing happens.
It works on IE but doesn't work on Firefox and Chrome. It used to work fine.
Is there anything I can change to make it work on all 3 browsers?
Firefox error console shows a syntax error at this point in the script:
$allButtons.click(function(){
itemChanged = false;
var toDo = $(this).attr('data-submitval');
eval(toDo);
Please can someone help?
This is the full script:
<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
var itemChanged = false;
$(document).ready(function(){
var $items = $(':input');
var $htmlButtons = $(':button[id]');
var $templateButtons = $(':button[class]');
var $allButtons = $($htmlButtons).add($templateButtons);
$items.change(function() {
itemChanged = true;
$templateButtons.attr('data-submitval', function(){
return $(this).attr('onclick').toString().split('\n')[2];
$htmlButtons.attr('data-submitval', function(){
return this.id;
$allButtons.removeAttr('onclick');
$allButtons.click(function(){
itemChanged = false;
var toDo = $(this).attr('data-submitval');
eval(toDo);
$('a').click(function(event){
if ($(this).children('img[id="P&APP_PAGE_ID._DATE_PICKER_IMG"]').length > 0) {
event.preventDefault();
eval($(this).attr('href'));
window.onbeforeunload = function() {
if (itemChanged) {
return 'You have made changes to data on this page. If you navigate away from this page without first saving your data, the changes will be lost.';
//]]>
</script>
Thanks

JavaScript doesn't work on any site at all? If particular sites are the issue, or you get specific error messages, please let us know.
Usually the only two ways to disable JavaScript in Firefox are:
(1) Options dialog > Content tab<br>
(2) NoScript add-on (or other security-related add-ons)
Normally Safe Mode bypasses issues caused by add-on problems or non-default settings, so it's worth considering external issues.
Does JavaScript work normally in any other browsers you have installed?

Image cache not working with Firefox and apex

Hi,
I'd like to cache all my images to save page rendering time and bandwidth because my images are all static and never change.
I use the John Scott's caching technique Link: [http://jes.blogs.shellprompt.net/2007/05/18/apex-delivering-pages-in-3-seconds-or-less/], in a few words this technique consists of adding a header line "Expires: date in the future" in the http response.
It works very well in IE, the images are cached and the same image can be accessed several times (within the same session or in different sessions) without issuing an http request to the server each time.
with Firefox it does not work, the same image is asked again and again to the server (i'm using FF 3.5 and APEX 3.2).
- Is it a date format problem? no, because when i type about:cache in FF, i can find my image in the cache with an expire date in the future.
The weird thing here is that the counter is incremented each time u request the image, so FF knows it is in the cache and even if the expire date is in the future, FF asks it again to the server.
- Is it a FF bug? If u read the http specs or if u google a little, u can come to the conclusion that FF does not follow the standards,
but... images.google.com for example manages to get its images cached with FF.
They use an http response header "cache-control: public, max-age=604800".
I tried the same and all kinds of combinations but without success.
When i compare my image with the one from google in the FF cache, they both have the same attributes.
- It's not an apex issue neither because it works with IE, most probably an incompatibility between apex and FF?
Maybe the use of cookie? or the http request (not the response) containing "cache-control: max-age=0"?
I've found so far 2 half solutions:
1) use ETag and modified date, see the Tyler Muth's note Link: [http://tylermuth.wordpress.com/2008/02/04/image-caching-in-plsql-applications/].
with this technique FF continues to send request each time but the answer is shorter because it's just a "304 not modified" instead of "200 OK" (200 response is bigger as it contains the image).
it's better than nothing but you still have 1 request + 1 response for nothing.
Another problem is that you need SYS access to implement this, which is not possible on an hosted server. (note that for images from the file system it is already foreseen by apex 3.1, Tyler's note is for images from the db)
2) if you preload the image (using myimage=new Image();myimage.src='...';), then there is max 1 request per browser session.
There are 2 minor issues here:
- no caching across sessions
- if u don't want to preload all the images (example a page with lots of thumbnails, when user clicks it show a bigger image, in that case the thumbnails can be preloaded but overkill for the big images), then you need to load the image, wait until the image has loaded before displaying it, it does not slow down the execution, but requires some extra JS.
I'm not asking anyone to investigate it, i can live with the 2 workarounds,
but just in case someone encountered the same problem and already fixed it.
Let me know if u managed to use the John Scott's technique with Firefox. (U can use Firebug to see the http traffic)
Thx
Tim

Why do certain functions of "click on" not work with Firefox and Ebay and my mailboxes?

When going to my mail (especially Yahoo mail) I cannot click on the boxes that allow me to delete or whatever. In addition, I can't hardly use Firefox at all with Ebay and other sites because of a similar problem. For instance, the cursor won't even change to a 'hand' on "Sign In" on Ebay nor will it allow me to change the page number if I have multiple items for sale or buying. I've had to switch all of my bill paying sites to IE for this same reason. Got any ideas? I'm currently using Firefox 17.0.1.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Links are not working with Firefox and some other browsers

Hello,
On my site (iWeb08) I have some pictures of pieces of text as a link to another page of website.. but with some browsers the links doesn't work.
Also de links are very difficult to activate on the site.. What I mean is when you want to click the link.. you have to search with the cursor in stead of stand on the word and click to activate..
(hope that you understand what I mean, but my English is a bit difficult in English for me...)
Regards,
Jose

Jose,
It might be good to give us the link to your site so we can see for ourselves what is happening.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
can you be more explicit in explaining what you want to achieve and what is not working? You mean that the tab menus are not getting in focus using the tab key? Have you tried setting clientComponent=true on them?

Richtextbox tools bar menu is not display for Firefox and chrome. Any idea why this is happening?

Hello,
I have added RichTextField in custom webpart. I have added tag like below
<SharePoint:InputFormTextBox ID="RichTextField1" runat="server" TextMode="MultiLine" RichTextMode="FullHtml" Columns="20" Rows="10" RichText="true" />
We are able to see Richtextbox tools bar menu in IE browser but it's not working for other browser like chrome and Firefox.
Can anyone suggest us why this is happening?
Any help would be appreciable.
Thanks,
Lovkesh Patel

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that the richtextbox tool bar menu not display in non_IE browser.
The richtext box not supported in Non-IE browser, it leads to the issue.
Here are some similar thread for your reference:

Videos are not working in Firefox

Hey everyone,
This seems to be a common problem, but videos are not working on Firefox, and not just for YouTube. I have updated Adobe Shockwave and Flash, re-installed Firefox, deleted/created a Firefox profile, started up Firefox in Safe Mode, turned off HTML5, checked if any of my plug-ins are disabled, and none of those have helped.
When I get on YouTube and click a video, the video itself doesn't even load. On other sites, in the box where the video should be playing, it says "No video with supported format and MIME content can be found." This kind of confuses me because I have updated the Adobe Flash.
Thoughts? Anything would be appreciated at this point.

Hello,
Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
#Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
#Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
#Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
# Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. <br/> <br/>[[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] <br/>
# Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
# Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
# Restart Firefox.
This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
Does this solve the problem? Let us know.

Upgraded to Firefox 4 and now the program I many alarm dealers use with Rapid Response Monitoring no longer works. RR Tech support said it had something to do with a change in Java not working with Firef 4

Rapid Response Monitoring Center developed a program for their dealers to log on to the main frame and look at customer info. The program now has a disclaimer on the log-on page Does not work with FireFox 4. RR tech support said it had to do with Java functions that were not continued in FF4. I can log on but the program will no longer display customer history or anything that seems to have a data base behind the function tab.
See www.rapidweb2000.com or call 1-800-932-3822 and ask for tech support for additional info about what they have found is the problem.

Id this the HP SimplePass Identity manager or Digital Persona fingerprint reader? If it is, the company that make the fingerprint reader have abandoned it. For more details see https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/799388

Java 7 Update 11 Not Working with Firefox

For me, the problems described in the thread "Java 7 Update 10 Not Working with Firefox? " Java 7 Update 10 Not Working with Firefox?
are continuing with Java 7 Update 11.
Windows 7 64 bit
Firefox 18
The problem is that "Java(TM) Platform" is missing from the plug-in list.
I've uninstalled Java 7 Update 11 and reinstalled Java Update 9 which correctly installs the plugin and restores Java functionality which was broken immediately upon installing both Java 10 & 11.

So why not using Ju11 ? You can workaround the issue. It would sucks but still be safer than using Ju9.
Also ask Mozilla forums if Firefox has options where to search for plugins.
Or try 64-bit Firefox.As I explained in both threads ...

Java 7 Update 11 Not Working with Firefox
... neither jre7u10 nor jre7u11 are working ... and they are BOTH broken with the same problem ... "Java(TM) Platform" pliugin is missing from the plug-in list. It cannot be enabled, because it simply is NOT there. A suggestion was made the jre7u12 will be the "fix" for this issue ... so I installed the Update 12 Preview and it sis ALSO broken, no "Java(TM) Platform" in the plug-in list.
The ONLY Java version that actually works for me is jre7u9.
As far as installing Firefox 64bit ... I see no future in installing a browser that has been discontinued.

Even though Mozilla relented due to backlash, I continued development will be a somewhat low priority.

Cross browser testing : Modifier Keys playback actions not working in chrome and Firefox

Hi,
In my work flow I have to select multiple items in list.So I have recorded 'Ctrl+Click' action to select list items.In Chrome and Firefox it is not selecting multiple Items.
Even Ctrl+A,Ctrl+C,Ctrl+V also not working in chrome and Firefox.Complete modifier keys support is not observed in chrome and Firefox.Let me Know how to automate modifier keys actions in cross browser?
Regards,
Nagasree.

Hi Nagasree,
Welcome to MSDN forums.
First,please make sure the Chrome and Firefox is supported by cross browser testing.
Latest version of Chrome and Firefox supported by cross browser testing are Chrome version 38.0.2125.111 and
Firefox 33.
I doubt whether Chrome and Firefox in cross browser testing don’t support automating modifier keys or there is anything wrong on it if you are using supported browser. Since this issue is related to the Extensions tool
Selenium components for Coded UI Cross Browser Testing, if possible, I suggest you post this
issue here, click “Q AND A”, and then you could post this issue there, you would get dedicated
support there.
Thanks for your understanding.

Flash drag and drop not working on Firefox for android browser

Drag and drop functionality is not working using Firefox Browser for Android on tablet. We tested with flash action script 2.0 & 3.0 content, both have same issue. Specs of the tab and OS are as follows.
Android - Kitkat 4.4.2
Tab models - Lenovo A7600H and Samsung Tab4 T531
Please refer to a previous case raised on the same issue here at this link (Case 1029615) - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1029615
Additionally, we observed that the object on which Drag and Drop event was triggered, is moving little bit when we double tap.
Does Firefox provide any libraries to support Drag and Drop functionality on Flash? We are using Geekoview api to execute flash content in our app. Will the same support be provided in Geekoview as well?
Are there other folks facing the same issue? Is there a solution or workaround to get this feature running?

Flash on Android is no longer supported by Adobe. While Firefox does support basic functionality we mainly focus on legacy video applications. You may run into issues with Flash and Geckoview. I doubt we have any resources to support that configuration.
