Java 1.6 Plugin Firefox Download: Why You Need It and Where to Get It



I need to use Java 1.6.0_20 for the software I'm running. I went to the Oracle website and downloaded jre1.6.0_20 and installed it on my computer, but can't seem to get Firefox to load Java. If I download directly from , the plugin works fine but is the wrong version, and I can't find on www.java.com anywhere to download any of the previous versions. According to the help (can't post link because of spam prevention), I need to go into the Java Control Panel and enable it for Mozilla. I've done this multiple times, but every time I go in to the control panel and check the box, click Apply and Save, as soon as I go back in the box is unchecked.




Java 1.6 Plugin Firefox Download



So I installed java via the java website (online method). When the installation is completed (even after reboot), it seems that the java plugin is not correctly installed as I cannot display correctly the java test page.


Firefox (both installed version and portable version) may use the environment variable "MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH" to search for plugins, so you can:1) create a new environment variable in your OS using the above-mentioned name and put as value [current plugins folder];[portable java plugins folder]2) simply create a batch file (.BAT file), using the "set" DOS command to set the above-mentioned environment variable in the same format:set moz_plugin_path=[current plugins folder];[portable java plugins folder]and then insert a new line to run Firefox.3) using the .INI file of the portable firefox version to include the plugins folder of Portable Java.


The [current plugins folder] is the current folder of Firefox Plugins. If you don't know where it is, open firefox, go to Plugins page, search for "default plugin", you can read the full path where the default firefox plugin is placed.The [portable java plugins folder] is the current folder of plugins used by portable java. It is placed in "Java\bin\new_plugin" folder (Java is the root folder where Portable Java has been installed). If you still have problem, search for file "npjp2.dll", and take note of the related folder where it is placed.


It does work for me on 3.6.3 and Minefield builds... I think. Tried some demo applets, java plugin test and few games from www.classicdosgames.com.Had to disable Java Deployment Toolkit on the last one (was forcing java installation).


In Java 6 Update 19 it was called npdeploytk.dll In Java 6 Update 20 it's called npdeployJava1.dll In JavaPortable installers there is a copy of this file in \new_plugin (doesn't matter witch one You keep). OTHER NP*.DLL files should be removed ..from \CommonFiles\Java\bin\ Those file names change with each java update so I won't list them here.


[MORE INFO] np*.dll files are generally mozilla plugins. In this particular case old java plugin files. Not only FirefoxPortable completely don't need them but they will probably cause it to crash when trying to load Java applet.


Losing the connection to FirefoxPortable\Data\plugins\ shouldn't be a major issue as you may move the plugins located here to FirefoxPortable\App\firefox\plugins\, where Firefox will find them as well.


(*) Although it is not essential for the patch to work that Firefox and Portable Java are installed in the same root folder. If one really want's to use a (portable) java installed somewhere else, he should be fine with setting the appropriate path for the plugin directory in FirefoxPortable.ini.


I am using Tor bundle Browser which uses firefox portable as a browser. The problem is that even after following above mentioned steps, the Java Plugin doesn't show up in "Addons".I have already tried copying files from Java Portable as well as another Java installation. Have tried both firefoxportable.ini method and using .bat file method but to no avail.Interestingly, I am able to install flash plugin using this method but not Java plugin.


Has anyone tried Firefox portable with Java on MacOS?Java plugin is not picked up by default in CommonFiles/Java.I tried to play setting the MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH variable to java/bin but with no luck.


Hi, I have firefox portable, jportable 6.22 and java 8 installed on my OS.FirefoxPortable/FirefoxPortable.exeCommonFiles/Java..My firefoxportable.ini like this:[FirefoxPortable]AlwaysUse32Bit=truePluginsDirectory=..\CommonFiles\Java\binAllowMultipleInstances=trueDisableSplashScreen=true


Both Windows XP and Windows 7 were tested for vulnerability, a session was generated in every browser that was tested when the system was running java versions prior to the latest. Note that Chrome did prompt the user to let them know the java plugin was out of date, though users can still click 'Run this time' and allow the exploit to complete. No other browsers prompted the user.


Several linux desktops were tested, one with the Sun Java plugin, and another with the Iced Tea plugin. The Iced Tea java plugin was determined to not be vulnerable, though it wasn't tested extensively, it may still be vulnerable.


An attempt was made to update the Ubuntu 10.04 device, and the java package was downloaded and linked to system java, however, the plugin was not installed as part of this process, and thus, even though the device was running the latest (build 1.6.0_29-b11), the 10.04 device remained vulnerable. YOU MUST FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS TO INSTALL THE JAVA PLUGIN: -plugin-install-linux-136395 .html - However, even after following these instructions, i was unable to get this process to work, and simply disabled java on the vulnerable device.


Interesting issue here, I was forced to update, restart, then update again to get the updated sun java plugin. Apparently one of the updates forced a restart in the middle of the update process, and thus, a second update was required to get the latest java package. To be fair, this system wasn't updated in recent memory, but it's important to note that multiple updates may be required. This process required approximately one hour to complete.

After that video is not working due to openh264 plugin is not installed from mozilla servers. So I copied .mozilla/firefox/ylmu6z10.default-release/gmp-gmpopenh264 and .mozilla/firefox/ylmu6z10.default-release/gmp-widevinecdm from the Fedora 32 machine to the RHEL 8.2 to .mozilla/firefox/WHATEVER.default-release/.


Starting in Forms 12c, end users have been able to launch their Oracle Forms applications without needing the insecure NPAPI plugin which has since been removed from all browsers except for Internet Explorer. With this, Forms 12c allows users to configure either Java Web Start (JWS) or Forms Standalone Launcher (FSAL) to launch their applications. However, when launching Oracle Forms in Firefox using Java Web Start, there is a known issue where the downloaded JNLP file cannot be run.


one puzzling thing - in about:plugins it has all " Yes" for the Update 3 version 6, but it also has some entries for one of the earlier ones I removed SE6 Update 1Java(TM) Platform SE 6 U1 File name:
