Using Firefox to play yahoo! games.........

I am trying to play some games that Yahoo! has to offer. When I click on a game to play a window pops open and says, "Wait 3 minutes for applet to load... Click here if applet fails to load." So I wait 3 minutes and nothing loads and when I click on the link nothing happens.
Does anyone else have these problems? Probably not many of you play Yahoo! games, but maybe you know something about "applets" and what I need to have installed on my computer to load one.
Thanks in advance for any help.

The games on the website are typically Java applets or quick Flash games, but there are others which require a download. Many of the games that require a download contain TryMedia Adware (According to McAfee SiteAdvisor).

I wonder if you have to sign up to play?
Do you have a particular game this happens with?

  • Java update (3 days ago) won't let me play yahoo games anymore.  I've tried moving java security to Medium and adding web address as "permissive use".  Still nothing.  I'd really like a fix.   Really, apple?  What's your beef with yahoo games?

    Installed Java update three days ago.  Now, can't play yahoo games as it's now blocked by security settings.  Already have tried moving Java security to Medium and adding yahoo.games.com (including web address of game) as a "Permissive exception".   Also tried removing java and installing older version.  Still nothing.  Really Apple?!?  What's your beef with yahoo games? 

    csnorth,
    all of the older update versions of Java SE 7 can be found here. If 7u45 also didn’t work with your Yahoo! games, you can choose from any of the even older versions there as well.

  • My gamecenter id and password is hacked, and now they are using it to play my game. I already change my password, help me to get it back from the hacker, thanks

    If you have already reset your Apple ID/GameCenter Password, then they no longer have access to your GameCenter account.
    If they are still somehow still using your game, then contact the app developer.

  • Play Yahoo games

    All at once, I am unable to play Yahoo Games.  It tells me I am missing plug-in.  I have tried downloading Java and when I try to install it, it says the "Update requires Mac OS X10.4.10 or higher.  Mac OS X Tiger only".  I have Mac OS X 10.7.5 Lion.  Everything I have tried does not work.  I have followed all instructions and I still get message missing plug-in.  What am I doing wrong?  How do I get back my games? 

    Uninstall the Oracle one, if you follow the Software Update instructions that is really all you need to do. I would also recommend you click the More Like This links to the right and see if you can find an answer.
    BTW when answering a post, please click Reply in the message you're answering to otherwise it's tough to see who you are attempting to communicate with.

    a good idea no matter what

  • Firefox loads the Yahoo Games site but the ads on the right side overrun the game play area? How do I fix this?

    My EI7 is crashing when I try and play the games sudoku and sometimes even word roundup but the game play screen area is totally visible.
    My Firefox doesn't crash I just can't see the extreme right side of the game play area as the ad box on that side overlaps the play area.

    Try to remove the Firefox plist file (org.mozilla.firefox.plist).

  • I was using firefox to play mirror ball Casino in facebook for a long time then it updated to version 13 and now today 14 and still it is choppy and dont work a

    I have used firefox for a very long time now. all of a sudden like when it went to version 13 or 1.3 it slowed my mirrorball slots down on facebook so slow I had to download Opera to play it but it plays great in opera and IE. was wondering what changed in both versions to make this happen cause it worked fine up till the 13 and 14 update. the page loads sluggish and game plays slow motion and crappy now. and I changed nothing about FF.

    Hi,
    You can try right-clicking the game window > '''Settings''' and deselect '''Enable hardware acceleration'''. If the problem persists, you can try [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ie-tab-plus/ IE Tab +] or [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ie-tab/ IE Tab] to open problematic sites inside Firefox.

  • Cannot play yahoo games anymore on my mac- java will not update any ideas

    i used to play cards on yahoo games, but can't anymore....the games won't load....any ideas? thx!

    Also make sure the file type is not of a DivX. That your camera supports. Which QT for Mac also supports, but the Windows version of QT does not support DivX, so you're not purchasing something for the Windows computer that is not needed?

  • Unable to play Yahoo Games (Missing Plug-in) w/ Mac Book Air

    Just purchased this MacBook Air...first time Mac user, and I'm unable to play yahoo spades on it. I've tried downloading Google Chrome but it still says "Missing Plug In"
    I've been playing Yahoo spades since '03 so I'm pretty attached to it....would love to know how to get this to work...thank you
    And I love the Air by the way so far!!

    Yahoo games use internet plug-ins such as adobe flash and java. They do not come preinstalled with your mac and you have to install them manually.
    I'm assuming you are using OS X Lion. Here are the download resources:

    For the latest adobe flash:

  • How can I listen to radio (firefox) and play a game at the same time

    Samsung S5 / lollipop When I listen to radio and switch to another window, the radio stops playing.

    Hi mmm2015
    I assume you are using Firefox for Android to listen to radio in one Firefox tab and you are switching to another tab and the music stops right?
    # Could you please let us know the URL of the radio website?
    # As well could you please let us know the exact steps you followed to reproduce this problem?
    Cheers!

  • I need to download a version of Firefox that is optimized for Yahoo! but I cannot use Firefox 4 for Yahoo! because it doesn't support Norton 360 as of yet. Any suggestions?

    If you do have any suggestions, where can I find it? The only place I know of is the http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html web site and you can only get version 3.6.16 there and it's NOT optimized for Yahoo!. Please help!
    Yahoo! keeps sending me the following message in a box on my screen along with the links to Firefox 4 and IE : Attention: Please upgrade to the latest Yahoo! optimized browser to ensure the best Yahoo! experience. But, as I stated in the question above, I cannot use Firefox 4 yet because it does NOT support Norton 360. Plus, I don't trust IE8 to use Facebook!
    Thanks for any help you can give me! Your very prompt attention to this question is greatly appreciated as I am sort of at a standstill before moving on with my work.
    Regards,
    Christine
    (Running Windows Vista Service Pack 2)

    Symantec have released an update for Norton 360 to make it compatible with Firefox 4, for details see http://us.norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20100720113635EN&ln=en_US

  • Using Firefox with my Yahoo account, email picture attachments are missing. If I open with Safari the pictures are there and viewable. Do you have any suggestions so?

    I use Yahoo mail, and recently when I receive an emailed picture, the attachment is missing. I thought this was a Yahoo issue and contacted them. They told me to try Safari and the pictures in my mail account are visible. So I went back to Firefox, cleared my caches, history etc... and I updated Firefox, my ad-ons and restarted my computer and the pictures are still not visible via Firefox. I like using Firefox, but I need to be able to view pictures ( In place of the picture attachment is shows: 3.txt

    For whatever reason - in past two days - no longer able to play various games - general browsing seems okay- have cleared all cache - history - cookies - you name it- popups are allowed - a window does pop up - but does not populate - dead in the water

    What browser are you using? Could be the site is optimized for windows compatible browser. Contact the web site and find out if your browser has issues with their site and which Mac browsers are compatible.
