There should be a "plugin" icon in the address bar, showing you that java has been blocked (see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6590650 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6590650)
Pressing on that icon should allow you to run java once, or allow if forever for that site.
If the icon doesn't appear, I think you should file a bug on bugzilla.
- josteink 13y agoYou know those big, yellow bars that browser and websites tends to come up with when they want to be 100% certain that the user notices something is up? I've yet to see a single non-technical user even notice or react to its presence once. I see it instantly and can't understand why it doesn't alert or annoy them, but to them, it's just not there. In light of that sort of behaviour, adding a subtle icon to the location bar is meaningless. Heck, adding anything to the location bar is meaningless if the intent is to communicate with the user; most users never look there. So yeah. If that's Mozilla's stance, they will find out that nobody's going to notice. I certainly didn't see it. That is effectively dead code which they've written.
