We have a Java application used by about five hundred computers, the recommended Firefox version to use is Firefox 43.
Every time a new user starts using the application or a new PC has to be installed we need to tell the user to manually click the button below and on the following window click "allow and remember".
Button to click
Searching the web I saw that firefox provides mozilla.cfg file which can be used to change parameters but I couldn't find which ones I should use to "allow and remember" plugin permissions so we don't have to tech every new user to do that (also, old users often forget). It would be great to distribute this file over the network or create a script to run along firefox installation.

hi guys I wrote a software that needs to be permanently entered into a website and then perform a browser operation then close and open it again, and each time it opens, the browser profile changes ... but usually after 10 attempts, it seems that the Internet is cut off and the website dont open, but if I create a new tab myself, I can go to the same address manually ... Why does this happen ??... I use Firefox and geockdriver and of course selenium libraries
i created multiple Geockdriver.exe and tried to use each for one profile and also i set port for driver with profile.setPreference(FirefoxProfile.PORT_PREFERENCE, 65535); but still same problem happend
by the way i code in java
selenium-firefox-driver 4.1.3
firefox version 98.0.2
Hello other developers.
Today I came here with a doubt and to verify if I can find a solution.
I work for a company that created a java application for MAC. The problem arose with the new Catalina.
Now when the application is installed two new permissions appear on the security. "Full Disk Access" and "Input Monitoring"
The application requires keyboard input and downloads a file to a temporary folder, then moves it to the USB.
For mouse input what we use on our application is JavaFX
We also use java/awt/DefaultKeyboardFocus and NodeBuilder
JavaFX - version 8
I wanted to check if there is any possibility do make these permissions not to show up, as the client doesn't want them to appear.
Or should we use other APIs for these kinds of accesses?
Thanks in advance and best regards.
We are trying to download something from GE that uses Java to download when logging into the site. This is a windows 7 Professional PC. I have other computers that are able to do this successfully. Here is my order of operations:
Log into the site and select the file I want to download
Click download
It takes me to the page that says it will start in a few seconds but nothing happens. It is supposed to have a box that asks for Java to run.
I have reinstalled Java fresh and still nothing. Tried with multiple user accounts. Added the site to the list of exceptions in the firewalls and Java configuration. I have tried an earlier version of Java. This happens in Mozilla, Chrome and IE. I have made sure that the Java plugin shows up and is enabled. I just cant think of what I am missing. And since we are a contractor GE is not going to help us. Can anyone here think of anything?
Are you sure you have the Java plugin enabled? e.g. in Firefox, go to Settings, Plugins, and change Java Platform SE8 'Next Generation Java Plugin' to 'always activate'?
This sounds similar to the issues I had with Cisco WebVPN, Java-style. Once you have Java installed correctly and set as a plugin for any of the browsers you would like to use, see below.
Before you even start looking at browsers - if you think it is already set up correctly
Look at your Anti-Virus programs or anything else that could prevent it from working. McAfee Host Intrusion Protection is known to cause many Java programs to fail. Kapersky had issues, a while back, with Java on Windows (Java Applets not loading in Windows 8 ).
You must have a 64-bit browser to use 64-bit Java (also mentioned in the Chrome link below).
See below for any specific things that can be modified in the browser.
Chrome 43 is the more complicated browser to set up. They have a dedicated page with instructions.
How do I use Java with the Google Chrome browser?
Firefox 38 will prompt you.
In Internet Explorer 11, it's under Internet Options->Security. I recommend adding the hostname the applet is on as a Trusted Site (Select Trusted Sites and click the Sites button, then add the first part of the url). Click the Custom level button and make sure that Scripting of Java applets is not disabled.
If you still have problems with the applet:
Verify your Java version will work with the applet you are accessing
Verify the plugin is enabled for the browser through the Java Control Panel, which is available in Windows Control Panel, or on Mac/Linux, execute it from the JDK directory ($JAVA_HOME/ControlPanel ).
I ended up fixing the issue. I had to allow their UK site on the list for Java and enable the SSL 2.0 for HTTP in Java config as well
I have a simple java applet that retrieves an image from a server and prints it out. The only problem is that I get the following java security warning:
Researching on this site and all over the web, some people suggest that I sign the applet (I tried that to no avail) and others suggest that I Modify a local java security setting but that isn't feasible for my clients.
Not only do I get this warning at the start of my applet, but seemingly any time the code attempts to interact with the printer, the dialog re-appears. Also, note that there is no checkbox next to 'Always allow this applet to access the printer'. These symptoms show on any browser.
How do I get java to respect the users choice to allow it to send jobs to the printer?
You might use the JNLP API services in a sand-boxed applet in a plug-in 2 JRE. They will still prompt the user each first time they go to print, but should also put an 'always allow' check-box on the dialog (though it really only applies for that run). See a demo. of the PrintService.
See also the applet info. page that includes a link on the Next Generation in Applet Java Plug-in Technology which "..brings new abilities to applets: such as .. allowing embedded applets to gain full access to the services of Java Web Start."
We're deploying a Web Start app that I and the other developers know how to install the shortcuts for (Control Panel -> Java on Windows, /Applications/Utilities/Java Preferences on OS X), but we have no reason to believe that end users know how to do this (or even know that it can be done).
Is there a way to either install the shortcuts automatically on first run, or (much preferably) ask the user if they'd like to install the shortcuts? I've been looking all over but the Sun/Oracle docs all say to go through the Java cache viewer, which I find completely ridiculous to ask of end users.
The JNLP specification allows for specifying that short cuts are to be created when the JNLP file is run.
Check the <jnlp><information><shortcut> tag.
The javaws command states:
Usage: javaws [control-options]
control-options include:
....
-import [import-options] <jnlp-file> import the application to the cache
import-options include:
....
-shortcut install shortcuts as if user allowed prompt
so you could probably do it through an invocation of javaws.
As of 1.6.0_18+, JWS offers the IntegrationService.
The IS can not only install/uninstall desktop shortcuts and menu items, but will report the success or failure of attempts to create/remove them.
Some minor points on standard use of shortcuts (through the JNLP file) using Windows and Linux. JWS will prompt the user only if the app. is sand-boxed. If the app. is trusted, it will go ahead and attempt to create the shortcut.
On Ubuntu Linux the menu items will fail silently, but the desk-top shortcut works. I have been meaning to investigate whether Ubuntu menu items will work better using the IS, by targeting the sub-menu to one of the standard sub-menus offered. If that is the case, menu items might be installed by the application targeting different menu structures on different OS'.
