Hello, again. I want to draw the attention on the fact that the java plugin for browsers doesn't work. I play a browser game called managerzone, which has a football/hockey simulator functionning as a java applet. It works on every other linux OS which has icedwebtea in repositories, except KaOS.

I use Firefox, and java plugin works there. I know that Google Chrome has dropped support for NPAPI since version 45, I don't know if there's another way to get it running in Chrome after that. Try Firefox otherwise.

[EDIT] I think I confused java applets with Flash (almost never use java in browsers), it seems that java actually don't work. I have tried some testing pages, and icedtea-web asks for permission in Firefox, but no content is shown. I can see the plugin in about:plugins, so it's activated.

Also, I just found out that Firefox has dropped support for NPAPI since end of 2016, so that might be the reason why java stopped working in the later versions of Firefox.

Mozilla intends to remove support for most NPAPI plugins in Firefox by the end of 2016. Firefox began this process several years ago with manual plugin activation, allowing users to activate plugins only when hey were necessary. This decision mirrors actions by other modern browsers, such as Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge, which have already removed support for legacy plugins.

Moreover, since new Firefox platforms do not have to support an existing ecosystem of users and plugins, new platforms such as 64-bit Firefox for Windows will launch without plugin support.

Thanks for your reply. Interestingly, the java plugin works in Firefox (the actualized version) in all the other linux distributions I have (Ubuntu and Ubuntu-based, Manjaro, Fedora) and in Windows, too.

I agree that it's a bit odd, tried different services without getting any satisfying results. One think I can think of (maybe a long shot thou?) it's that all the other distros ships (in most cases) with ia32-libs, and KaOS is 64-bit only. I'm not sure if that may be the issue thou.
