Java is not the most popular browser plugin today Mozilla Firefox, which is required for the correct display of Java content on the Internet (which, by the way, is practically gone). In this case, we will talk about the problem when Java does not work in the Mozilla Firefox browser.

Java plugins and Adobe Flash Player are the most problematic plugins for Mozilla Firefox, which most often refuse to function in the browser. Below we will look at the main reasons that may affect the performance of the plugin.

Reason 1: the browser is blocking the plugin from working

The Java plugin is not known from the most positive side, since its presence in the browser seriously undermines the security of the web browser and the computer as a whole. In this regard, relatively recently, Mozilla developers began to block the functioning of Java in their web browser.

First, let's check whether Java is enabled at all in Mozilla Firefox. To do this, click on the browser menu button and go to the section "Extras" .

In the left area of ​​the window, go to the tab "Plugins" . Make sure the parameter is inserted to the right of the Java plugin "Always on" . If necessary, make the necessary changes and then close the plugin management window.


Reason 2: Outdated version of Java

Problems with Java may be caused by the fact that your computer has outdated version plugin. In this case, if you have not yet been able to solve the problem with the functionality of the plugin, you should check it for updates.

To do this, open the menu "Control Panel" and then open the section "Java" .


In the window that opens, go to the tab "Update" , and then click the button "Update now" .

The system will begin checking for updates. If your version of Java needs an update, you will be prompted to install the update. Otherwise, a message will appear on the screen indicating that the most latest version software.


Reason 3: the plugin is not working correctly

The next way to solve problems with Java work- This complete reinstallation software. Implying complete removal, we recommend that you uninstall the program not in the standard way through “Control Panel” - “Uninstall Programs”, but using a special utility called Revo Uninstaller, which will allow you to truly completely remove Java from your computer, detecting absolutely all files of this software remaining on the system.

Launch Revo Uninstaller. Make sure you have administrator rights to run it.

Find in the list installed programs Java, right click on it and select "Delete" .


To begin, Revo Uninstaller will launch the plugin's built-in uninstaller, which will allow you to uninstall Java first in the standard way.

Once the uninstallation is complete, Revo Uninstaller will prompt you to run a scan for remaining Java-related files. We recommend setting the advanced scanning mode, and then start the procedure by clicking on the button "Scan" .


The scanning procedure will begin and will take some time. Once it is completed, the search results will be displayed on the screen first in the system registry. Please note that it is tedious to delete only those keys that are highlighted in bold.


Going further, the remaining folders and files will be displayed on the screen. Review the list and select the folders you want to delete. To select all folders, click the “Select All” button. Complete the procedure by clicking the button "Delete" .


After completing the uninstallation procedure, restart your computer so that the changes made are finally accepted by the system. After its completion, you can start downloading the latest distribution from the official website of the developer.

Download the downloaded distribution and install Java on your computer. Restart Mozilla Firefox for the plugin to start working in the browser.

Reason 4: Reinstalling Firefox

If reinstalling Java does not bring any results, then a complete reinstallation of the Mozilla browser will probably solve the problem. Firefox way, which is described a little higher.

Once you've finished uninstalling Firefox, be sure to restart your computer, and then download the latest version of the distribution from the developer's official website.
