In order to protect you, Firefox has stopped outdatedall versions of the Java plugin from running automatically because of security issues. However, you can still use Java on trusted sites if necessary. We'll show you how.

Warning: You should only attempt this on sites you trust.

Activate Java once

  • When you see the "Click here to activate" message, simply click it to load the Java content normally.

Note: The next time you visit the site or any other that uses Java you will see this message again.

Always activate Java for a site

If you have a trusted site that uses Java and you need to use that site often, you can make Java work normally on just that website.

  1. Click the red plugin icon in the address bar and a message window will open.
  2. At the bottom of the message window, click the Activate All Plugins dropdown menu and choose Always activate plugins for this site.

    Always activate Java
    • Now, whenever you visit this site, the plugin will automatically run and you won't get the "Click to activate" message.
