Oracle Forms and Firefox 52
This morning was the last day for Oracle Forms in Firefox, I thought...
At 9:00 AM I had no problems starting my Forms-Runtime. Firefox 51.0 was the actual version at that point.
After lunch and restarting my Firefox I was running 52.0 with the new feature "no JAVA please" :-)
Very bad is, that firefox didn't give you any hint, when starting a Forms-URL. The only thing you see is an empty screen.
If you have this problem, here is the workaround:
Start the URL "about:config" in your Firefox. After the message, that from now on you are responsible for all things you are doing in the settings, you see all Firefox config-parameters.
Here you have to right mouse click and use "New"-"Boolean"
The name of the new parameter is: plugin.load_flash_only
The value of the new parameter is: false
Now you have a new Firefox-parameter, which lets you run Oracle Forms as before!
Have fun

This is a bad advice for security reason. With Firefox 53, the ability to restore NPAPI plugin support will be removed completely. The better solution will be update and use Mozilla Firefox ESR (extended support release).

Thanks for the workaround!
Thanks...!!
it works...!!
Thanks
Working
Thanks
The Workaround was fine until Firefox Version 55.0.3.
But now the solution no longer works.
Any news on how to reenable Forms in Firefox V55.0.3?
Works yet ?
The lifecycle of the workaround is now at his end. There is actually no chance to work with the plugin with the latest Firefox-version.
