Java not working in Firefox due to offline JavaFX installation

After completing the installation of Java 7u10 and later, the following error message is displayed:

Error: A plug-in is required to display this content. Install the plug-in


Cause

This may be due to a conflict between Java 7u10 and later and JavaFX standalone installations. Example: if Java 7u5 and JavaFX 2.1.1 are installed, when upgrading Java Firefox cannot detect installation new version Java.

If you use the Firefox browser, aka "Mozilla", to work on the Internet, and periodically face the problem of downloading videos, images or the lack of any reaction when you click on a button somewhere on the site, perhaps the mess is caused by the display settings of "Java" in your browser. You can find out how to enable Java in Firefox in this article.

What is Java and why your browser doesn't like it

Java is one of the widespread web technologies today. The functioning of many sites and programs is based on it. Why is Java not enabled in the browser? Firefox refuses to support Java automatically because it considers it vulnerable to viruses. In the future, Firefox plans to completely remove support for any plugins (tools for playing content) other than Adobe Flash.

But this policy of Mozilla in relation to Java does not mean at all that when the corresponding plug-in is enabled, a million will immediately rush to your computer. malware... Sometimes you need to enable Java in Firefox for website performance reasons. This can be done in several ways.

Single case of Java inclusion

Let's say you surf the Internet, find a video that interests you, and want to watch it. You press the Play button, but instead of playing, the following screen is displayed:

The only action you need to take is to click on the caption. In addition, Firefox may prompt you to remember this site and always activate the Java plugin on it. If you trust this site, then confirm your choice in the dialog box (Allow and Remember - "Allow and remember").


In addition, sometimes the blocking of an application comes from Java itself, and not from Firefox. In more modern Java versions there are a number of fairly stringent requirements for running applications. If the developer is unknown, then most likely the ability to run a Java application will be blocked. Even if you decide to manually enable Java in Firefox by accessing the security settings and highlighting the desired site or application as an exception, the browser will still consider them suspicious and display a warning about a potential threat.

How to enable Java support in Firefox

There is another way to get to Java support activation. First, you need to go to the plugins page (open the menu and select the "Add-ons" button or press the Ctrl-Shift-A key combination). You will see a list of addons, among which we need to find the following:


If this plugin is not listed, use the search bar in the upper right corner. You can search by the word Java - the search will give you several add-ons, from which you can choose the appropriate one, having previously studied what functions they are designed to perform.

If all of the above steps did not help you enable Java in Firefox, you may need to completely update the application on your computer. To do this you need to download latest version from the developer's website and install it on your device. After that, try opening Firefox again and launching the problem site or app. In the end, you can open a moody site in another browser and see how it behaves there.
