Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
Last week there was this security alert urging Apple users to get rid of a Java application. Since then I have issues accessing some of my regular websites. I need Java Runtime Environment for it, but cannot find it anywhere on the Internet. Where can I find Java Runtime Environment that actually works on Apple Mac OS 10.6.8?
iMovie '09, QuickTime Player 10.0-OTHER, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
I never had any problems using this chat programme in Firefox up to yesterday. Today I was able to use this chat programme via Safari, so it must be something that has gone wrong in the Apple-Firefox interaction rather than with this chat programme.
Is there any way I can re-enable the execution of Java applets (no idea what it is btw) in Firefox and if so, how do I do that step by step?
Apple phoned me today and solved the issue. Apparently Firefox disabled particular java applications for security reasons. Only thing I had to do was to make sure I had the most recent update of java (which I had) and then go to the Tools menu --> Add-ons --> enable java plug-in 2 for NPAPI browsers 13.7.0
I hope it stays well from now on.
It appears you're correct.
Unfortunately I had to dig into the details of the release notes to find that particular tidbit of information...you'd think that Oracle would have said "JDK support for OS X Lion and above" instead of just "for OS X" in the main pages for the release...
That's annoying.
Where can I download a Java Runtime Environment that actually works on OS 10.6.8?
