Java viewer works with IE, not Firefox or Safari

Post by Mr. Shaky »

I can connect to UVNC using IE 8, but trying with Firefox on my PC or Mac, or Safari on the mac gives "Error. Click for Details" and "The application failed to run."

UVNC is installed on Windows 7 32-bit. Firefix is version 3.6

I have another computer running RealVNC, and the viewer works fine on Firefox & Safari.

Thanks for your help!

Thanks for checking. So the only difference is that I'm accessing it through a juniper VPN and your test was local.

I can't think of why a java applet would work in IE but not Firefox or Safari.

I get "Error. Click for Details"

Any help or advice?
