I have a need to enable Java Plug-in 6U20 6.0.200.2 in Firefix 19. This version of Java is disabled by Firefox by default since it has few security issues. But still i need that to be enabled. Do we have a method to do it. I do not want to use %Application Data%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<Random Profile Name>\pluginreg.dat file as this is created under a random profile. Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi there,

This article walks you through how to enable Java again -- note that we don't recommend this due to the many security risks (this week new threats were revealed again): How to allow Java on trusted sites

Hope this helps!

Cheers, David

Hi David, Thanks for the quick reply. But i have already gone through the solution that you provided. My requirement here is to automate this. User machines are already installed with the Java 6 U20 which they need it anyway. When i install Firefox, this Plug in should be enabled to the users. I need to use some script / commands to make this happen.
