New issues. After upgrading to Windows 10 Java is no longer listed as an available plugin, nor is it usable. Content is unable to use/access the plugin. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling both 32-bit and 64-bit Java versions just in case. How can I restore Java capability to Firefox? It is the same on different Firefox versions and my other machine running Windows 10 has the same problem. Thanks.

hi, 64bit versions of firefox on windows currently only support the flash plugin. if you want to use java, please continue to use the regular 32bit builds of firefox.

As of Firefox 41.0+ only the Flash player plugin (64-bit) is white listed in the Win64 builds.

Firefox 41.0 may be the first Release to have Win64 unless it changes again as it was initially going to be for Fx 40.0
