Firefox 43.0 x64 edition; Oracle JRE, Java jre-8u66-windows-x64.

Visit webpages with java, and *NO* indication of java present.

about:plugins does *NOT* list Java anywhere.

Is Java no longer supported with firefox?

I am sorry, but you cannot. Only two plugins supported in the 64-bit Firefox build for Windows are Adobe Flash and Microsoft Silverlight. Java is supported only in 32-bit Firefox for Windows.

As was stated in first reply the Win64 Plugin only has Flash Player and Silverlight white listed to run.

To use other Plugins on Windows, you will need 32-bit Firefox and 32-bit Plugins
