Java e java plugin


Ciao,

per compatibilità con alcuni software ho installa java a 32 bit, e Firefox 10, su un sistema a 64 bit. Posso dire che improvvisamente ha smesso di funzionare java sul mio pc. Anche se è il plugin è correttamente installato nelle direcotry di mozilla questo non è visibile dal browser.

In più mi sono accorto che se lancio il comando javaws ottengo il seguente errore:

Disabling Java as it is too old and likely to be insecure. To reenable use jcontrol utility

I tried everything but I can not even understand where the problem arises.

Who can help me?

Unfortunately I cannot understand that language. Probably you need to update your java, it is too old and likely to be insecure.

Sorry I traslate, sorry!!!

Hello,

for compatibility with some software I install Java 32-bit Firefox and 10, on a 64-bit system. I can say that suddenly stopped working java on my pc. Although it is the plugin is correctly installed in the mozilla directory to any directory that is not visible from the browser.

In addition, I realized that if I launch the command javaws get the following error:

Disabling Java as it is too old and likely to be insecure. To reenable use jcontrol utility

I tried everything but I can not even understand where the problem arises.

Who can help me?

If my version of java is insecure. Although I have not asked to disablitarla but I think it is done automatically (not sure how). If I remove the current version and installing an older java work?

I think older would be locked too. You may need it re-enable in the browser.

I do not understand how one can be disabled by itself.

I have however solved simply by installing the version jre-7u21-linux-i586 java and everything works perfectly. Mysteries ....

no, it is not disabled by itself, but browser (or some software) knows it is not up to date therefore refuses to work with it. Installing the newest release will solve this issue (obviously)

Ran into a similar issue "Disabling Java as it is too old and likely to be out of date. To reenable use jcontrol utility"
My problem was that java was blocking something due to someone denying it access at one point in time. The fix I used
was the following:

locate the .java file and move it
mv .java .java.b4.today

This will recreate the .java file which hosts the block list.

Now open a browser and see if it fixes the issue. If it fixes the issue remove the .java.b4.today
and live life happily. If it doesn't fix it just rename the .java.b4.today back to .java and know
that this is not what caused your issue.
