I can't get Safari work with Java 7 version 20 any suggestions?

I can't get the newest version of Java to work with Safari 6.02. It doesn't recognize it . Works fine with Firefox.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

Versions of the Oracle JRE prior to 1.7.11.22 are blocked for security reasons. Install the current version.

If you have Java 7u13 installed in your system, but it isn't working with Safari, you will want to ensure the plugin is properly enabled.


1. Under "System Preferences...", you will want to open the Java preferences pane (which will open a new window). Under the Security tab of the Java prefences pane, ensure "Enable Java content in the browser" is checked. This will allow Java web content to be used globally (if Java works under Firefox, this is probably already checked).


2. Open Safari's Preferences. Under Security there are four checkboxes grouped under the label "Web content:". One of them is Java. Ensure it is checked.


Be aware that enabling Java in the browser does open you up to any Java vulnerabilities. Best practices are to only enable Java when you need it, and disable it otherwise.
