Make firefox use Java 5

My computer uses windows 98se and the latest version of Java that will work on this machine is 5 22. I can not update to a higher Firefox or Java or OS. How can I make my fire fox 3 6 28 work with java 5. It always says that my plug in is blocked and I can not enable it.

I tried the link "How to enable Java if It's blocked". First there is no option to "Click here to activiate the Java" and there is no Red Plugin Icon. So this link does not help at all.

How can I make Firefox use another installed Java runtime version?

For development purposes I have several Java runtime versions on my Windows 7 64 bit machine. I try to keep the number of installed JDKs and JREs to a minimum and I want Firefox to use JRE 1.7.0_21 (32 bit) since this came with a JDK version I am forced to use for another application.
Firefox however uses JRE 1.6.0_31, and correctly reports this as insecure. It offers me the option to upgrade, but I do not want to download and install another JRE since I already have said JRE 1.7.0_21 installed. I would highly prefer to just be able to point Firefox to that JRE. I don't see an option to select another installed JRE however.
I have already attempted to manually modify the pluginreg.dat file (I know, it says Do not edit...) by changing the JRE 1.6 entries to JRE 1.7, but upon restart my edits were overwritten and the old JRE was back. As a result I cannot view certain web sites (also corporate/internal) without having to switch to lesser browsers.
Please let me know how I can make Firefox use the already installed JRE 1.7.

Thank you for your response, cor-el. I was able to successfully add the JRE 1.7 plugin to Firefox by modifying the existing JRE 1.6 registry entries, but I would not recommend this procedure to users that are less confident in registry editing. Too bad there is not a more user friendly way to do this.
Unfortunately the Java applet I'm trying to view is still not displayed. I've dug a bit deeper and found that the applet explicitly specifies an older JPI version (1.5.0_02). AFAIK Firefox cannot deal with this if its installed JPI (now 1.7.0_21) does not match the version requested. So either I'm going to have to dig up this older JPI version and install that too, or just switch to an alternative browser to be able to view this applet.

When I put a website Icon on my desktop, how do I make firefox use the Icon native to that website instead of the default Firefox Icon?

When I drag and drop a website onto my desktop, how can I make Firefox use the icon native to that website instead of the default firefox icon?
I have even gone painstakingly (SEVERAL TIMES) to the sites with IE, dragged the site onto my desktop in order to obtain the site native icons for my desktop (and deleted the ones with the Firefox icon) .... but they all soon revert to the default Firefox icon.
E X T R E M E L Y F R U S T R A T I N G !!!!!!!!!

I don't want icons from the Firefox library.
I want the icon that comes from the website I'm making the shortcut for.
(If you go to a site in IE you will see the site generated icon at the left end of the URL in the address field.)
If I make IE my default browser I am able to get (and keep) those icons as shortcuts on my desktop without a problem.
I want to keep Firefox as my default browser.
So I want to know how to make Firefox accept the icon that comes from the website like IE does.
I have even gone to the trouble to use IE to create the shortcuts with the site specific icons.....but after I do that...... FIREFOX CONVERTS THEM TO THE FIREFOX DEFAULT ICON as soon as I re-boot or refresh my desktop.
I generally prefer Firefox as a browser....but If there's no fix.....I'm going to dump Firefox.

Make firefox use a directory other than ~/.mozilla

I want to use several firefox versions and 'flavors' (plugin sets) simultaneously. Is there an environment variable or a command line option that tells firefox which directory to use for its data? If there's not any, where can I find it in the source?

The profiles are what firefox uses for its data. There are command line options, also methods of creating profiles that do not display in the profile manager, as mentioned in the last article I linked to.
*See also: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Command_Line_Options
Certainly I can work with multiple instances of firefox on a Windows machine.

How to activate a specific profile of the Firefox using java coding?

Hi Folks,
I have some query regarding activating the Profiles of the Firefox. Whenever i open the Firefox, the profile manager will be prompting for the profile to be activated. I want to perform such similar operation through java coding. Let us assume, I have three profiles named default, office and personal. I need to invoke the Firefox with a specific profile, office. How to proceed further? Your suggestion will be highly appreciated...
Thanks in Advance,
RealStuff, Mike

How to disable print and download button of pdf file when i am opening mozila firefox using java script

i am opening pdf file in firefox browser in right side i am seeing print and download option
i want to disable it by program like javascript, by manualy i can disable it ,
actually i am opening pdf file in my website by using firefox browser so i do not want to any can download or print the pdf file

If it's that critical, you could explore this partial workaround:
Use a script or configuration file on your server that changes the disposition based on the user agent. In other words, for Firefox, send an attachment disposition that forces a download outside the browser instead of the default (inline) disposition that allows Firefox to display the PDF in a tab.
Now... that won't stop the user from dragging and dropping the downloaded file on a Firefox tab to use the built-in PDF viewer, but most users would tend to open the file in their default viewer (e.g., stand-alone Adobe Reader).

Can i make it using Java?

I'm wondering if it is possible to translate a visual basic code to java. I use NetBeans platform. I want to clone [statusdetect.com|http://www.statusdetect.com] . I know i have to use a bot which is written already in visual basic , but i don't really understand it. If anybody knows about this bot and he could help me translate it to java, i would be very happy. Thanks for any help!

Better try here or here.
Good luck!

How to make firefox use adobe reader from mozila.cfg

Hello,
I'm using FF 24.4 (enterprise version). I need to configure FF to open PDF files with Adobe Reader and not from plugin. I need to do it for very large number of users. So I suppose it should be done from mozila.cfg, but I can't find the right configuration. Please help.

You would at least disable the built-in PDF Viewer (pdfjs.disabled pref)
If you do not want to use a plugin in Firefox the you need plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types to include application/pdf as well. 
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/disable-built-pdf-viewer-and-use-another-viewer 
You can also disable the Adobe PDF plugin (plugin.state.nppdf = 0)
Should users be able to change this choice?
<pre><nowiki>//
lockPref("pdfjs.disabled", true);
lockPref("plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types", "application/pdf");
lockPref("plugin.state.nppdf", 0);</nowiki></pre>

Does somebody know how to make Firefox use Gstreamer for HTML5 video?

... especially for Youtube ?
Thanks.

Sorry, I don't get it… does it apply to standard firefox now or why does it say core? If it's still fennec only, I'd love to see one for desktop firefox, too - but I'm not to sure I can open a bug/feature request in an orderly fashion, so maybe someone with smoother "bugtracker skills" might want to.
(Also: vote! )

Making movies using Java

Hi,
I am trying to make movies using Java, and naturally with Java Media Framework it is doable. However, it is a huge overhead to my tiny tool to be distributed over the Internet, and also makes the program very hard to install for my end users, so I cannot use it.
In essence, what need to do is to take a series of jpeg images generated by my program, and convert them into a movie. Preferably to mpeg-1.
It only needs to work on Windows platforms, so I have been looking for a command line tool I can call from my Java program that will automatically compress the jpeg files.
Do you have any pointers? Help would be greately appreciated, as I have been looking near and far for such a program.
Thank you...

Although I can't offer any help, I'd be interested to see where you go with this topic. I had a request for a program to sequence JPEG and TIFF images (taken from a E.Microsope) into movie sequences a while ago. Similar kinds of limitations. Are there any C libraries in existance that you could call into using JNI?

How do I stop my whole laptop freezing when I use Firefox to visit a site that uses Java aplets?

For the last few weeks, whenever I've used Firefox to visit a trusted site that uses Java aplets, I've got a warning advising me to update Java. But when I check Java, it tells me I already have the most up to date version. However, as of today, whenever I visit the same trusted site my whole laptop freezes - cursor disappears, everything stops. I can't even use Restart - I have to manually disconnect the power. The same happens when I attempt to access Java via the Control Panel (to uninstall) - the moment the cursor hovers over Java, everything freezes and I have to disconnect power. I'm using Vista Home Premium SP2 32-bit. HELP!!

Potentially unsafe versions of the Java plugin are "Click to Play" blocked, meaning that you have to click to activate Java for each site. See the [[How to enable Java if it's been blocked]] article for more information.
'''Note:''' To make sure that your Java plugin is working, you can visit the test pages listed in the article, [[Use the Java plugin to view interactive content on websites]]. If an "Activate Java" message box appears, click inside the box to activate the Java plugin.
When you see the "Activate Java" message box, simply click it to load the Java content normally.
 
[[Image:Fx24-JavaActivate]]
If there is no visible area to activate Java content in the page, click the red plugin icon in the address bar. In the message panel that opens, choose "Allow Now" to enable Java content temporarily.
 
[[Image:Fx24-JavaAllowNow]]
 
The next time you visit the site or any other that uses Java you will see this message again.
If you want to always activate Java for a particular site, you can use the "Allow and Remember" option shown above.
After activating Java, you may also see a "Security Warning" dialog box, asking you to confirm that you want to run Java. This warning comes from Java itself, not from Firefox.
NOTE: After following the above steps, your computer may freeze for around one minute while the Java program is loaded.
Does this solve your problem? Please report back soon.

How can I make Outlook use Firefox instead of Internet Explorer and can I turn IE off without hurting anything else on my machine?

I would like to use Firefox for Outlook Express. I can't find an option in Outlook or Firefox to make Firefox the default to access the web for email through the mail client.
Also, is there a way to stop IE so that it isn't used at all by any program in my machine?
Thanks
CajunReb

Matt,
I've tried that. When I go to outlook express, then to tools, options, then connections tab, it says "Outlook shares your connections with Internet Explorer, click the change button to modify these settings", but I don't see a way to do that. It just offers the option of changing settings for connecting to the internet, not which browser.
I'm stumped

How do I make Firefox ignore the "Use High Contrast" option in Windows?

I am taking care of a Windows XP machine which is running in "High Contrast Mode" for accessibility reasons. This display mode is enabled via the Control Panel of Windows (Accessibility Options, Display, Use High Contrast) and it has major impact on how Firefox display web pages. What I want to do is make Firefox ''ignore'' this operating system option, so web pages will be rendered "normally", but keep Windows in High Contrast Mode.
Is there any way I can make Firefox ignore this setting? I.e. run Windows in High Contrast Mode, but not Firefox?
A similar questions has been discussed here:
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Website%20colors%20are%20wrong
However, I don't want to disable High Contrast for Windows and the whole machine, just for Firefox.
Thanks in advance

John,
thanks for your comments. The computer is mainly used by a visually impaired person. She doesn't do much web surfing though and doesn't really need a high contrast web browser. If however a colleague wants to help her maintain the machine or quickly wants to look up something on the web for her, then it would be great if it was possible to access web pages "unfiltered", in their regular look and feel, as designed by the web author. In fact, the High Contrast Mode significantly changes the way web pages look, and sometimes screen elements needed for navigation etc. are suppressed or rendered invisible. (This, of course, is often related to poor web design, like graphical buttons or links with the actual label as a background image or without an ALT attribute, but unfortunately, vast parts of the web are not really "accessible", so accessibility will remain an issue for the browser as well.)
Creating a separate user account certainly is an option, especially for shared machines, but it makes it more complicated to quickly jump in and give her a hand. That's why separate user accounts are not really popular here; instead, Opera was installed which does not adhere to the OS setting and therefore grants a neutral view to all web pages.
Actually, when I started investigating on that issue, I was quite surprised that there was no option for this in Firefox, not even in "about:config". After all, Firefox obviously queries the OS for the Contrast setting and then chooses to render the page this or that way, so I thought they certainly implemented a flag or something to change the behavior. It seems however there is no such flag, is there? This distinction seems to be entirely hard-wired.
I am not sure if this is the place for change requests, but if somebody stumbles upon this question, is there any chance to make this setting open to the public? Something like an option "accessibility.useoscontrastsetting" or so? This might also facilitate it to develop an add-on for on-demand switching between the two modes, and web designers could check more easily how their work looks for those with poor eyesight.
