browser has no java support

[gwaitsi]

so,
firefox 45 and chrome since 32+ don't support java anymore.
uploader and scanner don't work.

Is there some plan to replace these technologies?

[jllort]

Yes there is a plan to replace applets, but the only browser who really has removed java is chrome. I have firefox 45 and java support is still present.

hi jllort,

i just upgraded to Ubuntu 16.04 LTS - dev as the release is due this month, and the firefox 45 included doesn't appear to support.

cheers

We'll my firefox 45.0 is still supporting java and I think should not depending on your ubuntu release. I thought the plans for removing NPAPI in firefox was until the end of 2016 as is explained in this article http://www.ghacks.net/2015/10/08/mozill ... n-firefox/

Hi jllort,

I don't know about the plans, but i can tell you i am using Ubuntu 16.04 with Firefox 45.0.1 and since the upgrade, it no longer works.
It's quite a problem because now, neither the uploader or scanner work.

For me personally, it is the uploader that is the problem. i do all my uploads in bulk.

Will try my windows box later, but i don't use it much

Cheers

I'm in ubuntu too, but with more older version. Which jdk version do you have installed ?
