Install Java Plugin Firefox Mac Os X

| Posted on by

Kronos is a system that requires Java. Occasionally you may run into error messages regarding the Java in your system. This guide will show you the next steps you should take if you receive an error message stating the 'Java plug-in is not installed'

If you have not yet installed Apple's Java OS X 2012-006 update, then you are still using a version of Apple Java 6 that includes the plug-in and the Java Preferences app. See 'Note for Users of OS X that Include Apple Java 6 Plug-in'. There can be multiple JDKs installed on a system, as many as you wish. If you’ve recently noticed that Java Apps/Applets are not working in Safari or Firefox on your Mac – here’s the fix. If you’re using OS X 10.6 or lower, Java will come included in OS X. If you’re having trouble, select the Apple Button from the Menu Bar and select Software Update. Install any updates that relate to Java. Download HTML5 Video Player for Mac to encode and embed videos on your own Web site easily. HTML5 Video Player has had 0 updates within the past 6 months.

Note: the Java plug-in is entirely disabled within Google Chrome, so if you are trying to use Chrome and getting an error, the first step would be to switch to Firefox, Internet Explorer, or Safari.

  1. Open the Firefox browser or restart it, if it is already running
  2. From the Firefox menu, select Tools, then click the Add-ons option
  3. In the Add-ons Manager window, select Plugins
  4. Click Java (TM) Platform plugin (Windows) or Java Applet Plug-in (Mac OS X) to select it
  5. Check that the option selected is Ask to Activate or Always Activate or on older Firefox versions, click on the Enable button (if the button says Disable, Java is already enabled)

Does Chrome support Java? Using Java in Chrome is a little bit tricky at this moment.

NPAPI was required to enable Java applets, but since 24th of November 2014, NPAPI was disabled by default.

Since April 2015 NPAPI plugins were unpublished from Chrome Web Store.

Between this period you could enable it in settings:

But currently it’s not possible anymore, so you cannot just download Java for Chrome and make it running.

So as I mentioned nowadays you should use little tricks…

But first of all, you need to install Java on your PC.

Install Java For Chrome on Windows

How to use Java with Chrome steps:

Install IE Tab chrome extension (it emulates Internet Explorer under your Chrome browser and allows to run Java and Silverlight).
You’ll find its icon “e” in the right top corner. Click it and follow installation steps (run ietabhelper.exe).

After that, a new tab will be opened and you’ll be allowed to use new IE Tab search line.

You should confirm that you want to run Java detection application.

and see that Java is running.

Not native Java support, but it’s better than nothing.

Install Java For Chrome on MacOs and Linux

Tab IT plugin doesn’t support MacOs and Linux, that’s why we gonna use Test IE plugin.

The problem is you have to pay, but they give you a free trial to test.

So when you activate this Chrome extension you will be redirected to a homepage:

Press a FREE TRIAL in the top right corner and register.

Then you’ll be redirected to a list of available OS and browsers.

I recommend taking FireFox under 52 version because FF after 52 partially supports Java.

After that FF browser will be opened on your tab.

Go to Java verification page to be sure that it’s running.

Press a button and browser will ask you to allow Java:

Then it will ask you: “do you really want to run Java detection application?”. Press “Run”.
