I need to run some old browser-based java applications. But when today I open my Firefox and try to open this app, I found that Java plugin not works. I searched Internet and find that new Firefox not longer supports Java plugin (Chrome and other browsers too). So how can I make this in-browser java application run? I use Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit.
| Ubuntu 16.04 LTS 64-bit |
First, I have updated Java to have the latest version.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installerThen I download and unpack archive with 64-bit ESR Firefox (older version - v.45) from here
- Then I close my 'standard' previously installed Firefox and run 'firefox' file from the extracted folder of the version 45 archive.
And after that I open my site and successfully run Java application from it.

Did work in Ubuntu 17.04. But downloaded firefox from this ftp: ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/45.9.0esr and disabled automatic updates in firefox option's advanced section – Paulo Henrique Jan 14 at 14:42
