Revision Content

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 more information.

Note: To make sure that your Java plugin is working, you can visit the test pages listed in the article, Use the Java plugin to view interactive content on websites. If an "Activate Java" message box appears, click inside the box to activate the Java plugin.

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.
