Chrome removed NPAPI support in September 2015, and Internet Explorer dropped it years ago Microsoft's Edge browser includes neither NPAPI nor ActiveX plugin support. Other plugins, including Java, Silverlight, and Acrobat, are no longer supported. Google dropped Windows XP and Windows Vista support in Chrome in April 2016.Īs such, users of those operating systems will still have an actively patched browser for a little while longer, but their days are numbered.įirefox 52 also gets rid of another bit of legacy: plugins using the old NPAPI plugin model, first introduced by Netscape back in the 1990s, are no longer supported, with just one exception: Flash. Microsoft no longer supports Windows XP at all, and Windows Vista drops out of extended support on April 11, 2017. New features, however, will be restricted to the mainline version of Firefox. Firefox 52 is an Extended Support Release it will receive security fixes (and only security fixes) for approximately one year. Future major versions of the browser will require at a minimum Windows 7. The release is the final major version to support two legacy operating systems: Windows XP and Windows Vista. I appreciate any help.Firefox 52 is out today, and it's a landmark release for a couple of reasons. I hope some of you faced the same problem and got it solved to give me a hint to the right direction.
The same happens when I place the dlls out of dtplugin and plugin2 inside of %appdata%Mozilla/Plugins. Just a white page with no content whatsoever. If I open the applet page I am asked to to run Java and the warning message its outdated and a possible risk. Then copied the dlls out of dtplugin and plugin2 folder inside of the new "bin" folder.Īt the same level as the firefox binary i created an ini file to redirect the PluginFolder like so.PluginsDirectory=C:\Folder\Subfolderįirefox detects the Plugins and they are shown in the Plugins List (in between I uninstalled all installed java versions ofc). Delete all np*.dll files at the same level as the java binary. Moved the content of Java 121 bin folder into another folder.
If I install 1.8.0_221 besides 121 it doesn't work anymore.
Now its just a window which shows the applet which works fine as long as jre 1.8.0_121 is normally installed. Hid the tabbar, disabled menu access, disable ctrl-n for new tab and so on. The goal is to have ff 52.9.0 only accessible for the applet so I configured everything accordingly. Since they want to update FF and Java to a more recent version. The company I am working for asked me to create an independent Firefox instance with working Java plugin to still be able to work with a certain Applet.
