Do you need to visit websites and web services that rely on the old Java technology? Did you install Java on your computer but your browser says that Java is not present on your system? Why isn't Java working as it should and how do you make it work in your favorite web browser? These are the questions that we are going to answer in this guide. We show you how to enable Java in all the major web browsers where that is still possible. If Java is not working for you on Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Internet Explorer or Microsoft Edge, read on. NOTE: To be able to use Java on your Windows PC, you should and then install it.
If you already have Java, but you do not know which version, we recommend this tutorial: How to enable Java in Google Chrome In September 2015, Google decided to remove the support for Java in their Chrome web browser. The Java plugin is based on an old API called Netscape Plugin API that has always had security issues. Google felt that it was time for them to let go of this old technology and make the Web move on to newer and safer technologies like HTML5. When you visit a website or web service that is using Java, you now see a message that says: 'The Chrome browser does not support NPAPI plug-ins and therefore will not run all Java content. Switch to a different browser (Internet Explorer or Safari on Mac) to run the Java plug-in.'
With Mac OS 10.7 (Lion) and later, the Java runtime is no longer installed automatically as part of the OS installation. Follow any of the methods below to install Java runtime. Download and install Google Chrome for MacOS. I am currently using Google Chrome on MacOS Sierra, the latest version. This is a guide to help you download, install and set up Chrome on your Apple MacBook or MacBook Air.
If you need to use Java in Google Chrome, the only way to do it is to install a browser extension called IE Tab. This extension gets its name from Internet Explorer, and it uses the Internet Explorer engine to display web pages in Google Chrome. Internet Explorer supports Java, and it means that you get Java support in the IE Tab that you open in Google Chrome.:) It's not the most straightforward solution, but it works, and it is simple to set up. Use your Google Chrome web browser to from the Chrome Web Store. There, click or tap on the 'Add to Chrome' button from the top right corner, and then confirm your choice by pressing the Add extension button to proceed with the installation. After you have installed the helper file, you can get on with using IE Tab and Java, in Google Chrome. Each time you visit a web page with Java that does not work correctly in Google Chrome, click or tap the 'e' button from the top-right corner of Chrome.
It opens a new IE Tab tab that uses the Internet Explorer engine, with support for Java. As you can see from the image below, our Chrome web browser now states that we have the recommended Java version installed. Your Google Chrome browser now does the same.:). How to enable Java in Firefox. The short answer is: You can't! Just like Google Chrome, Mozilla's Firefox also stopped offering full support for the Netscape Plugin API, and it can no longer run Java applets natively, starting with Firefox version 52, which was released in March 2017.
Initially, Mozilla provided an Extended Support Release (ESR) 32-bit version of Firefox, which continued to provide support for Java. However, starting with May 9th, 2018, it released Firefox version 60 ESR, which is an entirely new browser with zero support for Java. Also, the older Firefox 52 ESR version (which had support for Java) is no longer supported as of September 2018. Therefore, no matter what new version of Firefox you download and use, you cannot run Java. When you are down setting things, press OK first in the Security Settings - Internet Zone window, and then in Internet Options. How to enable Java in Microsoft Edge In Windows 10, Microsoft decided to let go of Internet Explorer and build a new web browser called Microsoft Edge.
However, just like Google and Mozilla, Microsoft also chose to let go of old and vulnerable plugins, so the company decided not to offer support for Java applets in Microsoft Edge. The only way we know to run Java content on a website opened in Edge is to use its 'Open with Internet Explorer' option. In Microsoft Edge, when a web page you are on uses Java, click or tap the 'Settings and More' button from the top right side of the window or press ALT+X on your keyboard. Then, click or tap the 'Open with Internet Explorer' entry. Windows 10 launches the web page inside Internet Explorer.
If Java is installed on your computer, you are then able to see the full web page content. How to enable Java in Opera Opera is based on the Chromium technology and shares part of its code base with Google Chrome. As a direct result, when Google decided to stop supporting NPAPI plugins, including Java, Opera stopped supporting them too. To make things even more interesting, in a masochistic way, it is even more complicated to make Java work in Opera than it is in Chrome.
If you want Java in Opera, first you have to make the IE Tab extension for Chrome to work in Opera. To make Opera use with Chrome extensions, launch it and go this web page:. This extension lets you download, install and use any extension from the Chrome Web Store in your Opera browser.
Click or tap on the '+ Add to Opera' button from the top right side of the page. If Windows 10 breaks and nothing seems to work well anymore, you might be tempted to contemplate reinstalling it from scratch. However, that would mean that you must go through a rather elaborate process to save your files and then to reinstall Windows 10. Fortunately, you do not have to do so, because Windows 10 gives you the option to reset it to its initial state and keep your personal files in the process. The advantage is that it is a lot faster than formatting your system partition and installing Windows 10 from scratch. Resetting can also improve the performance of your Windows 10.

Java and Google Chrome Browser This article applies to:. Browser(s) Chrome Chrome no longer supports NPAPI (technology required for Java applets) The Java Plugin for web browsers relies on the cross-platform plugin architecture NPAPI, which had been supported by all major web browsers for over a decade. Google's Chrome version 45 and above have dropped support for NPAPI, and therefore Java Plugin do not work on these browsers anymore. Java applications are offered through web browsers as either a web start application (which do not interact with the browser once they are launched) or as a Java applet (which might interact with the browser).
This change does not affect Web Start applications, it only impacts applets. Developers and System administrators looking for alternative ways to support users of Chrome should see this blog regarding. RELATED INFORMATION. (google.com).
