Hello,

Starting in Firefox 24 the Java plugin is "Click to Play" blocked, meaning that you have to click to activate Java for each site. See the How to allow Java on trusted sites article for how to activate Java and allow Java applets to run. (For Java test pages, see the links in the article, Use the Java plugin to view interactive content on websites.)

If you want to always activate Java for a particular site, you can use the "Allow and Remember" option in the drop-down menu that appears when you click on the red icon in the address bar. Here's what it looks like on Yahoo Games: Fx24AllowJavaDropdown

You may also see a "Security Warning" dialog box, asking you to confirm that you want to run Java ... for example, JavaSecurityWarning

This warning comes from Java itself, not from Firefox.

Does this solve your problem? Let us know.
