Why does my Firefox not have a Java plug-in?

My question is similar to "Java Plug-in for JRE7u21?" but all the suggestions there that worked are for Windows, and I'm on a Mac, and I don't want to hijack that thread. <sub> For the record, that thread is [/questions/958847]. aw </sub>
I have Mac OS X 10.8.5 Mountain Lion, Firefox 24.0, which says it's up to date, and Java 7 update 45, also up to date. I only want answers for Mac OS X, not Windows, not Linux.
The online Java test works OK in Safari but not in Firefox. Firefox thinks Java is not installed. There's no "Java Applet Plug-in" in the plug-ins list.
Since Safari is OK, I assume there's a bug in Firefox. Can we narrow it down by identifying which combinations of versions (of Mac OS X, Firefox and Java) have the Java plug-in and which don't?

Security is a bad answer. Safari allows Java to run if the user allows it. Why can't Firefox do the same? If Firefox has security vulnerabilities that Safari doesn't have, how long will it take to fix them?
What's all this about the Java Deployment Toolkit? I'm talking about the JRE, the Java Runtime Environment. I'm not a developer, I'm not an administrator, I'm a user, and I want to use Firefox. Silly me.
Sorry for the irritation. I'm expletive deleted tired of people telling me what I can and can't do for my own safety.

Why does front row not have simple organization?

I currently have a hard drive hooked into my macmini which is hooked up to my TV. On my hard drive I have over 1000 movies, all purchased through iTunes. However when I use front row and i goto the movie section, I have to scroll through every movie to get to the one I want. There's no way to scroll by letter, only one by one. This is horrible and takes forever. Can apple do an update that makes the right button on the apple remote for scrolling letter by letter. For example, you click the right button to goto movies starting with B, C, D, E, F, etc. Then the down button for one by one scrolling. Also, why does front row not have genres? AppleTV does. Why not incorporate that into front row? Think, Apple, Think.

You can have sub-folders in the Movies folder and arrange your movies alphabetically that way.
But if you want to alert Apple to your idea, then use this link:

HT4623 Why does my IPad not have a Software Updates button in my General tab?

Why does my IPad not have a Software Updates button in my General tab?

The Settings > General > Software Update option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, if you have iOS 4 then you will need to do the update via your computer's iTunes.
To update, connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases. You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button
Updating to iOS 5+ : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
Your iPad should be updated to iOS 6.0.1 (which is the only version that is 'signed' by Apple), so you will lose the built-in YouTube app and the Maps app will change - though google do have app versions in the store

Why does the callender not have a four weekly?

Why does the apple calendar not have a four weekly. This would be a great help.

This is on the I pad. I don't have a mac, only a pc.

Why does the iPhone not have expandable memory (i.e. MicroSD Chips)?

I know that many phones come with a MicroSD slot to come with the phone, but why does Apple NOT provide a slot for the iPhone. I would like to know the answer to this hardware puzzle, because many competing phones have these advantages. The only upside I see in the iPhone is web versatility and stability, and that's diminishing very very fast.

Why close it? Some people might be interested in reading it.
No, posting on a site for a different product saying your product doesn't meet my needs make it like a Surface is trolling. Chiding someone who made a comment 2 years ago who isn't even here is trolling.
Basically what you did was buy a product that you knew didn't have 2 important features that you think are essential and now you want Apple to add that. And even if they did add that then you would be posting about the fact that you can't copy anything to the USB or microSD device and you can't copy apps, documents, etc. Which is because iDevices don't have an accessible file system. And you've already mentioned you want that. Due to security reasons it isn't going to happen.
What you've said you need is a table that is a full computer. You need to buy the Surface Pro (skip the RT, there are limitations you will not be happy with). It will give you a USB port, accessories for a microSD and a fully accessible file system.
The good news is Apple's devices hold resale value far, far better than any other comparable devices. So sell yours and get a Surace Pro. You will be glad you did.

Why does iphone 4 not have a softwear update under the general tab

why does my iphone 4 bnot have a softwear updater under the general tab

The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

Also read the instructions from the section entitled "Update your device using iTunes" at the link below.

Why does my CS6 not have prophoto?

When I go into my color settings I do not have a Prophoto option for working color space. Anyone know why?

Yep, I did buy the Verizon model. I prefer their service coverage and quality. Don't really need the sim card slot in any case . . .
Thanks for the replies.

Why does my ipad not have sound? Sometimes it does and other times it doesn't...

My Ipad2 has a small crack the size of my pinky fingernail, and some times it does not have sound...

Have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the iPod and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound.
Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

Why does my Firefox not keep me logged in?

To remember your identity the forum stores some information on your browser in a cookie. That cookie needs to be sent back to the server on each request the browser makes. If your browser forgets that cookie, you will get logged out. There are several reasons why Firefox might forget that cookie.
Cookie settings
Make sure you have Firefox configured to keep cookies until they expire. This is a setting in your Firefox options:
NoScript add-on
If you have the "NoScript" add-on installed it will change your cookies so they are deleted every time you restart your browser. From the NoScript documentation:
Some web sites depend on very complicated domain interrelations and,
while they handle sign on on a certain domain through a secure HTTPS
channel, they need to propagate authentication across multiple domains
which do not support HTTPS. NoScript tries its best to gracefully
degrade in these situation which simply cannot be protected, but some
sites are just too complex not to break and login fails.
You can add these forums to the exceptions in the NoScript add-on. See the NoScript FAQ for more information.
Other software
Cookies are occasionally expired by other software such as system cleanup tools, anti virus software, spyware scanners and firewalls. Make sure these do not affect your cookies for either adobe.com or forums.adobe.com.

Web sites usually remember you by using a cookie, either a traditional browser cookie or a Flash cookie. If you have set Firefox up to clear your history when you shut down, you may be deleting the site's cookie(s), thus making you anonymous upon your return.
The subject of cookies can trigger strong feelings, so you have a lot of options for how to handle cookies, including built-in choices, add-ons, etc. Rather than write out a very complicated set of options, could you I refer you to an article here:
* [[Cookies - Information that websites store on your computer]]
If you have a specific idea for how you want Firefox to handle cookies, but you're not finding enough help around here, please post back on your objectives so we can help you implement it.

Why does the ipad not have the apps wheather and stocks

The iPad doesn't have stocks and weather

All we, your fellow users, can tell you is that it's because Apple chose not to include them. There are a multitude of such apps in the iTunes Store, though.

Why does the iPad not have an Apple Store app?

I was wondering, why has Apple not made an Apple Store app for the iPad yet? It's been a while now that the iPad has been out and the iPhone has had it but why not make one for iPad too? It could be designed correctly to be a lot more user friendly on an iPad then the website in my opinion...

This is a user-to-user forum. Except for the Host who keep order, Apple doesn't really participate directly.
