Iced Tea plugin keeps asking for permission to run Java applets

Question

Every time the browser wants to load a Java applet a dialog asking me for permission to run the java applet appears. No matter if I check the option "remember this option" or not, the dialog appears, annoyingly, every time the browser tries to show a Java applet.

Here there's a picture showing the phenomenon.

Is there any solution to this annoying permission dialog?

Thanks in advance,

Charlie

I do not have such a slider under the security tab. Is there a way to whitelist some IP's or a range of addresses? — Oliver R., Aug 14 '14 at 06:02

Because of the high number of virus using vulnerabilities of the Java language, Firefox, by default, ask every time if we want to open a Java applet, whatever the system policy.

However, it is possible to change it.

Open the Add-on manager (ctrl+Shift+A) and select the "plugin" tab. Change the combobox next to "IcedTead-Web Plugin" to "Always activate" (Sorry if the name are not accurate, i'm French)

I get exactly the same thing. I believe this is a new java security feature - it happens on all OS's I believe (OSX, Linux and Windows). As far as I can tell, there is no obvious solution, however you could try the following:

Open Dash (super).
Search "java".
Click on "Oracle Java 7 Plugin Control Panel".
- You may need to install it from the software centre.
Click on the Security tab.
Change the slider to Medium.

This may solve the problem.

Is dash a shell? That's the only dash I know – Charlie May 23 '14 at 23:10
No, the Dash/Launcher. Press Super, it should open a window with recent files and applications etc. You can search from there. – Tim May 24 '14 at 09:06
Unfortunately, I have KDE. If I install Oracle Java 7, should I uninstall the icedtea plugin? – Charlie May 26 '14 at 17:47
Yes, do remove icedtea if you get oracle. – Feldpausch All4 May 28 '14 at 17:12
