The following applies to Safari version 10.x which is current in 2018 in OS 10.10 (Yosemite). In order to force it to use the Java applet, use this link: 1d66 with Java in Proteopedia (see Using Java for Rendering Structures).Īlternatively, go to, enter a PDB code (a small one is 3hyd), check "Use Java", and Submit. Proteopedia.Org displays molecules in Jmol.

Install any available update for Safari or OS X.
If you have El Capitan or earlier: System Preferences, App Store. Safari (OS X): Java is not supported in macOS versions later than El Capitan (10.11).Internet Explorer (Windows): Start, Control Panel, Windows Update (may be under System and Security).Make sure your web browser is up to date with the latest version. As explained there, Windows users will be safest if they use Internet Explorer for Java, and a different browser, in which Java is disabled, for general web browsing.įor Proteopedia and FirstGlance in Jmol, Java operates within a web browser (as a "Java applet"). Since all other browsers do, this is probably due to a bug in the javascript of Seamonkey.īefore proceeding, you should be aware that using Java is likely a security threat - see Using Java As Safely As Possible. Seamonkey version 2.49.4 does not run FirstGlance in Jmol.SeaMonkey support for Java has been removed in version 2.53.1.SeaMonkey (available for Windows and OS X) is a Mozilla-based browser that supports Java, at least up to version 2.49.4 current in January, 2019 through July, 2020.
All recent macOS operating systems are 64 bit.
It is harmless to download it and try it - if you have a 32 bit operating system, it won't run.
However, Internet Explorer 11 is available in Windows 10 for use with Java. The Microsoft Edge browser (new in Windows 10) does not support Java. The HTML5 implementation of Jmol, JSmol, works just fine in Firefox. Until sometime in 2018, there was a special version of Firefox called Extended Support Release (ESR) that supported Java however, later ESR versions no longer support Java. That change happened in March 2017 and had been announced well in advance.
The Mozilla Firefox browser does not support Java (including the Java-dependent version of Jmol) since version 52 of the 32-bit browser the 64-bit Firefox has never supported Java. The HTML5 implementation of Jmol, JSmol, works just fine in Chrome. This change happened in late 2015 and had been announced well in advance.
