Ok, I'm trying to launch a java based console within my dediserve VPS. It tells me that it is an untrusted site (clearly not). Says security settings have blocked an untrusted application from running. Hope this helps

Update 51 ratcheted up the security on Java applets, so that unsigned applets that used to generate a warning are now completely blocked. Please see the following documentation from Oracle on your options:

Does that work for the applet you need to run?

Make sure that JavaScript is enabled (javascript.enabled should be true) and isn't blocked.

You can open the about:config page via the location bar and you can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue

You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:

You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.

  • Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
  • Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
  • Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)

Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.

"Clear the Cache":

  • Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"

"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:

  • Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.
