My problem is that I cannot use the Always activate Java for a site method of fixing Java when I do online banking because the option never comes up - or at least I have not found a way to make it do so. I have captured what appears on my screen but evidently I can't attach it to this request. I am using FF 24.0 and Java is Se7 U45 on Windows XP/3.

This web site is requesting access and control of the Java application shown above (btw, there is nothing shown above). Allow access only if you trust the web site and know that the application is intedened to run on this site.

Allow access to the following application from this web site (not application is listed)?

Choices are: Yes, No, Help

Please check the images I have attached. One is the one I am getting when I do online banking and the other is what I assume I should be getting but am not.

hello cdizdad60, you can attach a screenshot when you reply to your original question. but as far as you've described it, that dialog doesn't seem to come from firefox but is getting generated by java itself. in this case the firefox instructions on how to activate java don't apply & you'd probably have to contact oracle's support for further help...

ok, i see you have managed to attach a screenshot in the meantime already :-)

as i presumed, this kind of security dialog isn't coming from firefox itself. here's the description from java's help section (it doesn't include a way to turn that off though): http://java.com/en/download/help/javascript_applet.xml
