Firefox Esr 60 Plugin Java

[edu4001]

Good afternoon,
I have Centos 7 with firefox ers 60 64bits and I use several web pages that work with java plugin, Before I had firefox 52 esr and it worked fine but I updated firefox and now in 60 it does not work, Is there any way to activate this plugin in the version of Firefox Esr 60?

Thanks
Best Regards.

I believe that ff 60 removed the API that allows the current java plugins to work.

As its ESR it should support java.
Get the java 'tar.gz' archive and decompress it in /opt .
Run

Code: Select all

restorecon -RFvv /opt/jrexxxx

Then follow the guide for using alternatives to install java javaws and the java plugin (libnpjp2.so) .
So for a java plugin it should be something close to(based on memory):

Code: Select all

alternatives --install /opt/jre/somewhere/there/use/find/libnpjp2.so libnpjp2.so /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins 1000 && alternatives --config libnpjp2.so

Trevor is correct, 60 ESR removed support for the java NPAPI plugin so that will not work.
