Recommended Internet Explorer Browser Settings
Security Zones
Microsoft Internet Explorer offers four different security zones
to run your application through. Which zone is used is dependant how you are
accessing your site (Internet or Local Intranet) and set up within the zones
themselves (Trusted sites & Restricted sites).
It is advisable to have the security setting at Medium
for run-time use.
The Security Internet Options on Microsoft Internet Explorer can
be accessed by going to:
Tools -> Internet Options -> Security tab from the
Internet Explorer Menu Bar.
Each zone carries its own default security level that may need
to be adjusted when accessing Oracle E-Business Suite through it. The
defaults are as follows:
|
Zone
|
Usage
|
Default
for IE7 & Higher
|
Default
for IE6
|
|
Internet
|
Web sites not placed in other
zones
|
Medium-high
|
Medium
|
|
Local
Intranet
|
Web sites on your organization's
intranet
|
Medium-low
|
Medium-low
|
|
Trusted
Sites
|
Web sites you trust not to
damage your computer
|
Medium
|
Low
|
|
Restricted
Sites
|
Web sites that could potentially
damage your computer
|
High
|
High
|
It is recommended that Oracle E-Business Suite is run through
the 'Trusted Sites' zone, with a 'Medium' Security Setting.
Setting up Oracle E-Business Suite to run
through the 'Trusted Sites' zone, with a 'Medium' Security Setting. (If
Required)
Step 1: Select Tools -> Internet Options -> Security tab ->
Trusted Sites icon -> Sites button from the Internet Explorer Menu Bar.
Step 2: Set the 'Security Level for this Zone' to 'Medium' if it is
not set already.
Step 3: In the 'Add this Web site to the zone:' field, enter the
'hostname and domain' of the environment you are running the Oracle
E-Business Suite, e.g. https://., then
click the 'Add' button. Alternatively you can simply add the domain
name preceded by '*', so that all sites under that domain go through this
zone. i.e. *.
(If you are entering an http://... or '*.' domain address, you
must ensure that the 'Require server verification (https:) for all sites in this
zone' is not checked).
Internet Explorer Browser Settings for User
Download of oaj2se.exe
Oracle recommends that customers running Oracle E-Business Suite
through Internet Explorer (IE) should use a 'Medium' security setting through
the 'Trusted Sites' zone in the browser at runtime. This setting does not
automatically download the oaj2se.exe file from the middle tier if the user
does not already have the appropriate version installed on their desktop.
The JRE plug-in will download and install from the webserver on
a medium security setting. After clicking on a 'forms link', a message
similar to the following will appear at the top of the browser window:
'The website wants to install the following add-on: 'J2SE
Runtime Environment 6 Update 3' from 'Sun Microsystems, Inc.'. If you trust
this website and the add-on and want to install it, click here...'
To install the plug-in:-
- Click on the message above
and select 'Install ActiveX Control...'
- Once the browser has stopped
processing, click on the 'forms link' again, and the oaj2se.exe file
should start to download
- Once the download has
completed, a security warning pop-up window will ask, 'Do you want to install this software?'
- Click on the 'Install'
button and follow the on screen instructions
Alternatively, to
enable the download of this file, the user should temporarily alter the
security settings within their browser using one of the two methods below:
Method A: Change Security Setting to
Medium-low
- Select 'Tools' ->
'Internet Options -> 'Security' (Tab)' from the browser menu.
- Select 'Trusted Sites' ->
'Custom Level' (button)
- From the 'Reset custom
settings' drop down select 'Medium-low'
- Click the 'Reset...' button
and accept the changes.
- Press the 'okay' buttons to
close the window.
- Close the browser and start a
new browser session for the settings to take effect.
- After launching Oracle
E-Business Suite and downloading the oaj2se.exe file onto your desktop,
please reset the security setting back to 'Medium'
Method B: Change Individual Parameter Settings
- Select 'Tools' ->
'Internet Options -> 'Security' (Tab)' from the browser menu.
- Select 'Trusted Sites' ->
'Custom Level' (button)
- Under 'Settings' ->
'ActiveX controls and Plug-ins'
- Change 'Automatic prompting
for ActiveX controls' to 'Enable'
- Change 'Download unsigned
ActiveX controls' to 'Prompt'
- Click the 'OK' button and
accept the changes and click the 'OK' buttons to close the window
- Close the browser and start a
new browser session for the settings to take effect.
- After launching Oracle
E-Business Suite and downloading the oaj2se.exe file onto your desktop,
please reset
'Automatic prompting for ActiveX controls' to 'Disable' and
'Download unsigned ActiveX controls' to 'Disable'.
Microsoft Office with WebADI
For patch requirements and required browser settings required to
integrate Microsoft Office with Oracle E-Business Suite, see Document
1077728.1.
Page Refresh
When using Oracle Self-Service products it is important to
ensure that the most current data is being viewed. You may check if the page
has been updated since your last visit by manually refreshing the page,
however it is desirable for this to be done automatically through IE by
setting the following parameter from the browser menu as follows:
IE7 and Higher Users
- Select Tools -> Internet Options -> General tab ->
Browsing History -> Settings (button).
- Select Every time I visit the webpage.
With this option set Internet Explorer will check if the page
has changed since it was last viewed.
IE6 Users
- Select Tools -> Internet Options -> General tab ->
Settings (button).
- Select Every visit to the page.
With this option set Internet Explorer will check if the page
has changed since it was last viewed.
Shared Desktop Security
If multiple users share the same desktop, they may be able to
view a previous users browser content by pressing the 'Back' button on the
browser. To avoid this issue set the Force Page Refresh profile option to Yes at Site level in your Oracle E-Business Suite 12 instance.
For security reasons, if a PC is shared by multiple users it is
also advisable not to save encrypted pages onto the drive by
navigating to
Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced tab
-> Security settings and ticking Do not save encrypted pages to Disk.
Exception: SSL users who export Discoverer Workbooks to
excel must leave the Do not save encrypted
pages to Disk parameter unchecked.
AutoComplete in Internet Explorer
IE can automatically show previous values entered in the same
form field. For privacy and security reasons this feature should be disabled
as follows:
Go to Tools -> Internet Options -> Content
-> AutoComplete -> Settings (button)
Uncheck the Forms and User names and passwords on form check boxes.
HTTP 1.1/Keep Alive Settings
Users should have the HTTP 1.1/Keep Alive option enabled.
To set this option, navigate to the following parameters from
the browser menu and ensure they are checked:
- Tools -> Internet Options
-> Advanced tab -> HTTP 1.1 Settings:
- Use HTTP 1.1.
- Use HTTP 1.1 through proxy
connections.
Importing an SSL Certificate into Internet
Explorer on Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8
Note: Windows 8 users may be required to run with
elevated privileges to install an SSL certificate into the browser
Connecting to a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) enabled environment
requires the certificate to be 'Trusted'. If the certificate is not from a
trusted authority or has not previously been trusted on the client, it must
be verified at runtime. When accessing such an environment it will return the
following warning message: 'There is a problem with this website's security
certificate'. Using the automatic default install button may cause the
certificate to be added to the browser's 'Intermediate Certification
Authorities' folder and not the required 'Trusted Root Certification
Authorities' folder. Therefore the security message will still display.
If the certificate has wrongly been installed into the
'Intermediate Certification Authorities' please remove it through the browser
and re-install into the 'Trusted Root Certification Authorities' folder.
Installing an SSL certificate into the Browsers Trusted
Certificates folder requires the browser's security option 'Enable
Protected Mode' to be disabled (not checked), which is the default
setting in the 'Trusted Sites' zone. This feature is only available in
Internet Explorer for Vista and Windows 7 and does not exist in the XP
versions of the browser. (If required, 'Enable Protected Mode' may be enabled
(checked) after the certificate has been installed for runtime use).
To trust the certificate authority and prevent the error page
appearing on future logins, install it as follows:
- Enter the URL in the browser
- From the browser menu select:
Tools -> Internet Options -> Security -> Trusted Sites icon.
Security setting should be 'Medium' by default
- Make sure the 'Enable
Protected Mode' option is off (not checked)
- Click the 'Sites' button and
add the url if it is not there already (or add *.oracle.com to cover all
Oracle environments, you must uncheck the 'Require Server
Verification....' option first to allow you to add it)
- Save the changes and close
the browser window
- Enter the URL in a new
browser window
- You will again see a message
saying 'There is a problem with this website's security certificate'.
Click on, 'Continue to this website (not recommended)'.
- In the task bar click on the
Red certificate error
- An Untrusted Certificate
Window Pops, click on 'View Certificates'
- Click on Certification Path
'Tab'
- Highlight the Root
certificate (will probably have a white cross in a red background next
to it) and press 'View Certificate'
- Click on Install Certificate
'button' and press next
- Select 'Place all the
certificates in the following store'
- Click 'Browse' and tick the
'Show physical Stores' box.
- Click the + next to 'Trusted
Root Certification Authorities' folder
- If a folder exists called
'Local Computer' Click on it and select 'Okay'
- If that folder does not
exist, highlight 'Trusted Root Certification Authorities' folder and
select 'Okay'
- Press 'Next' followed by
'Finish'
- When the Security Window pops
asking if you wish to install it, say 'Yes' then hit the 'finish' button
- Close the pop-up and the
browser, when you next login, it should be fine.
If the install button
is not active when trying to install the certificate, it may have been
installed previously using the automatic facility (Into the 'Intermediate
Certification Authorities' zone). To remove the certificate:
- Open the browser and go to
Tools -> Internet Options -> Content -> Certificates ->
Intermediate Certificate Authorities
- Highlight the appropriate
certificate for the instance you are trying to access, press the
'Remove' button then close down the browser
- Open a new browser session
and follow the steps above to install the certificate into the 'Trusted
Certificates' folder
Known Issues for
Internet Explorer Users
Windows 8 Specific Issues
BiDi (Arabic and Hebrew) languages
Due to issues with right side truncation, Windows 8 is not
certified for BiDi (Arabic and Hebrew) languages. A patch fix for this issue
is in progress.
Projects to MS Projects Interface
Trying to post information between Oracle Projects and Microsoft
Projects will currently error when running on Windows 8. A patch fix for this
issue is in progress. For further information see Document
1077728.1 titled, 'Using Microsoft Office 2007 and 2010 with Oracle
E-Business Suite 11i and R12'
Internet Explorer 8, 9 and 10 Specific Issues
Display Issues in FWK (IE9 and 10)
To prevent display issues within some FWK pages it is advisable
to run your Oracle E-Business Suite environment through IE 'Compatibility
Mode'. Some of these issues are highlighted below.
IE10 users may see the responsibilities under the main menu
displayed as 'undefined':
IE9 and IE10 users running in 'Browser Mode' may see button and
text misalignment as well as font changes within certain FWK pop ups and
other pages, for example when opening a 'Search and Select' window:
To workaround these issues, set the webpages to run through
Internet Explorer 'Compatibility Mode'. To set this as the default setting
for your domain:
- From the browser menu select Tools -> Compatibility View Settings
- In the Add this Website
field enter your domain information as appropriate (e.g. oracle.com)
- Click the Add
button
- Close the Compatibility View Settings window
Running through 'Compatibility Mode' should correct any button,
font or other display issues:
64-bit Internet
Explorer Issues (IE8 and IE9)
The issues outlined in this section are specific to users
running an IE 64-bit browser.
By design Microsoft do not allow the 64-bit version of Internet
Explorer to be set as the default browser on the desktop:
Tools -> Internet Options -> Programs (tab) -> Default
Web Browser
"Internet Explorer (64-bit) cannot be the default
browser."
Opening an HTML window from a third party application will
therefore use the default 32-bit browser which may require the user to login
to the appropriate Oracle E-Business Suite responsibility through this new
session.
Report Manager Default Browser Behavior
Financial Statement Generator reports that drill down into
General Ledger from Adobe Acrobat Reader or Microsoft Excel will open in the
user's default
browser. If the user has an active Oracle E-Business Suite session open
in the default browser, then when the user selects a drill down link, the
corresponding Oracle General Ledger page appears directly. If the user does
not have an active Oracle E-Business Suite session, or if the Oracle
E-Business Suite session is in another browser (e.g. 64-bit), then the Oracle
E-Business Suite login page appears first in the default browser, and the
user must log in and select a responsibility to access the Oracle General
Ledger drill down page. For ease of use, it is recommended that users
requiring this function run Oracle E-Business Suite in their default browser.
Oracle Product Workbench (IE8, 9 and 10)
Oracle Product Workbench will fail to launch when running
through an Internet Explorer 64-bit browser as the browser is unable to load
32-bit ActiveX controls. Please use a 32-bit version of Internet Explorer to
run this product.
Multiple EBS Sessions (IE8, IE9 and IE10)
Previous releases of Internet Explorer (IE7 and earlier) allowed
users to logon to the same Oracle E-Business Suite environment concurrently
from the same desktop by launching each application session through a new
browser session.
By default the ‘Session Merging’ feature introduced in IE8 prevents this
functionality from working by default. This is because the same session id is
used when accessing the same Oracle E-Business Suite environment. By default
this will occur if you select New Window, New Tab or Duplicate Tab from the the browsers File menu, or if you open another browser window through the desktop
browser icon.
This can result in unusual behavior with invalid sessions causing errors such
as “Your login session has become invalid" ,
"Unable to authenticate session" and failures to launch forms causing errors such as “FRM-92050: Failed to connect to the server:
/forms/formservlet: -1"
To retain the use of multiple sessions through a separate
session id to the same Oracle E-Business Suite environment running IE8 and
higher please use one of the workarounds below to ensure each browser session
remains independent:
- Open a new explorer window
using its own session cookie by selecting File
-> New Session from the Menu Bar
in an existing browser window.
- Users may have to enable the
Menu Bar first by right clicking the
browser header frame and selecting Menu
Bar.
-
- Run from the command line
adding the -noframemerging parameter e.g. Start -> Run -> iexplore -noframemerging
- Create a new IE icon adding
the -noframemerging parameter e.g.
- Start -> Program Files
- Right click on the Internet Explorer
icon and select Properties
- Add -noframemerging
to the end of the link in the Target field e.g.
"C:\Program
Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" -noframemerging or
"C:\Program Files
(x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" -noframemerging
- Click the OK
button to close the window
- This icon may then be copied
to the desktop if desired
Unable to Authenticate Session
If you receive an 'Unable to authenticate session' error in your
browser when running multiple sessions, please set the -noframemerging option as outlined in the Multiple
EBS Sessions section above.
If this does not resolve the problem or you are not running
multiple sessions, please try clearing your browser cache by deleting the
'Temporary Internet Files' through:
Tools -> Internet
Options -> General (tab) -> Browsing History -> Delete (button)
Loosely-Coupled IE (LCIE)
Loosely-Coupled IE (LCIE) is standard IE browser behavior in IE8
and higher. This splits the browsers frame and its tabs into separate
processes on the desktop to improve performance and browser recovery if a tab
crashes. Oracle E-Business Suite users may be affected in the following ways.
Multiple Java Console Windows Open
With the 'Show Console' option set in the Java Control Panel,
launching a forms based application through IE8 or higher may cause two
separate 'Java Console' windows to open. Accessing further applets from the
same Oracle E-Business Suite session may also cause further 'Java Console'
windows to appear. This will not always be seen because not every tab will
necessarily be started in its own process because LCIE will attempt to
balance reliability with performance. Therefore the issue of multiple java
console windows is most likely to be seen if running from a high
specification multi-core processor desktop.
If required you can prevent the java console from appearing by
running the following from your desktop client:
Control Panel -> Java (icon) -> Advanced (tab) -> Java
Console -> select the 'Hide Console' (radio button)
Journal Approval from Email Notification
Due to LCIE, trying to approve a journal from an email
notification may cause the following error when running IE8 and later:
FRM-92050; failed to
connect to the sever;/forums/forums;-1
Steps to reproduce the issue:
- After receiving an email
notification to approve a journal click on the Please click here to Respond link.
- Click on Enter Journals
link to drill back into Oracle and view journal details.
- Error message appears.
To workaround this issue please turn LCIE off through the
registry as follows:
- Open the registry editor.
- Navigate to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Main.
- Locate the TabProcGrowth
key.
- (If the key does not exist,
create a new DWORD (32-bit) Value named TabProcGrowth.)
- Set the value of the key TabProcGrowth
to 0.
- (This will instruct IE to
open all of the tabs within the same iexplore.exe process.)
Cross-Site Scripting Error
Oracle E-Business Suite 12.0 and 12.1.1 users may see the
following error in the browser window when launching forms based application:
'Internet Explorer has modified this page to prevent a possible
cross-site scripting attack'
The required Forms 10.1.2.3 servlet components may not have been
deployed properly when Forms 10.1.2.3 was first installed in your Oracle
E-Business Suite Release 12 environment (Bug
8608695).
If your end-users running IE8 or higher encounter this error
when attempting to launch a Forms-based E-Business Suite product, redeploy
the Forms 10.1.2.3 formsapp.ear file by following Document
397174.1 titled, 'Deploying a New Forms .ear File in Oracle Applications
Release 12'.
Workflow Notification Certificate Signing in
IE9 and IE10
When using IE9 or IE10 the digital signing of workflow
notifications will error with the message:
Verification of
signature has failed
Users wishing to use this function should remain on IE8 until a
fix is made available.
Note: The password signature for workflow
notifications will continue to work normally using IE9 or IE10.
Some users may find the iRecruitment Applicant Comparison Report
will not open when running Internet Explorer 8.x on Windows XP, the
application stops and you cannot choose whether to save or open the pdf file.

Tabbed Browsing in IE 7 and Higher
Forms Windows
IE7 and higher provides a tabbed browsing facility, which can be
enabled from the browser menu through Tools -> Internet Options ->
General Tabs -> Settings. Forms in Oracle E-Business Suite are supported
and launched through a separate frame. Therefore, even with tabs enabled, the
forms navigator and the forms windows will continue to open in a new window and
not in a new tab. This is intended functionality and is not a bug.
Web Based LOV's
When using IE7 or IE8 with the 'Always Open Pop-Ups in a New
Tab' browser option selected, focus is lost after opening the LOV in a new
tab causing the application to freeze. To unfreeze the application and regain
focus within the pop-up window press 'Ctrl & Tab'.
To workaround this issue please select a different value for
'When a pop-up is encountered; in the browser:
Navigate to: Tools
-> Internet Options -> Tabs -> Settings -> Always Open Pop-Ups in
a New Tab
Select either: Let Internet Explorer
decide how pop-ups should open
or: Always open pop-ups in
a new window
Alternatively, to use the tabbed setting upgrade to IE9 or later
where this problem does not exist.
This issue is being evaluated through enhancement request Bug
9773527.
Exporting Data and Opening Attachments
File Export / Forms Attachments
Functionalities
JRE 1.6.0_27 (6u27) adheres more strictly to Internet Explorer
browser settings. Users may find that the File -> Export and Forms
Attachments functionalities (for example opening Word, rtf and Excel attachments)
will not work after upgrading to this Plug-in version when running IE6, IE7
or IE8. Trying to run these functionalities may cause a window to open
briefly before closing again, the 'File Download' window will not open.
To fix this issue please set the following browser setting
within IE under the appropriate security zone (using 'Trusted Sites' as an
example):
- Navigate to: Tools -> Internet Options -> Security ->
Trusted Sites -> Custom level.
- Set: Downloads -> Automatic prompting for file downloads
to Enable
This setting no longer exists in IE9 and therefore these
functionalities are not affected when using this browser.
File Association
The file type that you wish to export from E-Business Suite must
be associated with the browser. If the file type is not associated, the
Window will not open or will briefly open and then close immediately. This
may occur for example, when using 'File -> Export' to an excel spreadsheet
or when opening an attachment from E-Business Suite.
To fix this issue, using the 'Trusted Sites' zone as an example,
(which is recommended for running Oracle E-Business Suite through):
- Select 'Tools' -> 'Internet Options' -> 'Security'
(tab) -> 'Trusted Sites' -> 'Custom Level' (button) ->
'Downloads' from the browser menu.
- Set 'Automatic prompting for file downloads' to 'Enable'.
- Save the setting and close
the browser window.
- Start a new browser session
and login to Oracle E-Business Suite.
- This time, when trying to
open the attachment or export data you should see a pop up windows
titled 'File Download'.
- Uncheck the checkbox labeled,
'Always ask before opening
this type of file' and click the 'open'
button.
- The file should now display
correctly.
- After this has been done, the
file extension type is registered and you may set the 'Automatic prompting for file downloads' back to 'disable',
accessing such files in future will now work correctly with that
setting.
Browser Helpers and Toolbars
The use of certain browser helpers and Toolbars may cause the
browser to crash when trying to login to Oracle E-Business Suite due to their
incompatibility with older plug-in versions. To remove a toolbar:
- On the Start menu, click
Control Panel
- Double-click Add or Remove
Programs
- Select the appropriate
toolbar
- Click the Remove button
To disable an add-on:
- From the browser menu, Tools
-> Manage Add-ons -> Enable or Disable Add-ons
- Select the appropriate add-on
- Under 'Settings' click the
'disable radio' button
- Restart the browser
SSL Users
Internet Explorer may display one of the following messages
through a modal window when running Oracle E-Business Suite in an SSL enabled
environment:
Do you want to view only the webpage content that was delivered
securely?
or
This page contains both secure and nonsecure items.
Do you wish to display the nonsecure items?
To stop this message appearing, using the 'Trusted Sites' zone
as an example:
- Select 'Tools' -> 'Internet Options' -> 'Security'
(tab) -> 'Trusted Sites' -> 'Custom Level' (button) ->
'Miscellaneous' section
from the browser menu.
- Set 'Display mixed content' to 'Enable'.
- Save the setting and close
the browser window.

1 Windows 7 (64-bit) desktop client operating system is currently
only certified with Oracle E-Business Suite when running 32-bit products e.g.
Client based products, Browsers, JRE plug-in and Microsoft Office.
2 Firefox versions 3.6.x
and higher only support
next-generation java plug-in releases (JRE 1.6.0_10 or higher). Forms based
products cannot be launched using 'classic java' versions (JRE 1.6.0_07 or
earlier). If a 'next generation java' plug-in version is not available on the
desktop client the browser will display the message, 'Additional plugins
are required to display all the media on this page'. If an appropriate
version is available from the Oracle E-Business Suite web server it can be
downloaded and installed in the usual way. Alternatively, clicking the 'Install
Missing Plugins' button or the 'Click here to download plugin' box
will activate the Firefox 'Plugin Finder Service' which will offer the
latest available version of the JRE plug-in for download and install.
3 Firefox ESR XX.x is an Extended Support Release (ESR) which
will be supported by the vendor for approximately a year. For further
information on the support lines and other information please see Mozilla
Firefox ESR Overview
4 Firefox versions 3.0.x, 3.5.x, 3.6.x and ESR 10.x are no
longer supported by the vendor. It is recommended that any users running
these versions upgrade to Firefox ESR 24.x.
3rd Party Software Support Lifecycle
Oracle's certification of the various third party client
operating system and browsers aligns with the respective vendor's support
life cycle.
Firefox versions 3.0.x, 3.5.x, 3.6.x and ESR 10.x are no longer
supported by the vendor. Firefox ESR 17.x is currently due to be de-supported
by the vendor on 3rd December 2013. It is therefore recommended that any
users running Firefox upgrade to Firefox ESR 24.x. Oracle will continue to
offer support for earlier Firefox versions with Oracle E-Business Suite R12
on a 'Best Effort' basis only. Consequently, where issues are due to problems
with the browser, we may, where necessary, require customers to upgrade or
change their browser to resolve the issue.
Compatibility with Higher JRE releases
Oracle has certified the Oracle E-Business Suite with the
minimum JRE releases noted above on the JRE 6 (1.6.0.x) stream. Oracle
E-Business Suite end-users may use or upgrade to later production releases of
the JRE 6 plug-in at their discretion. For further information on upgrading
JRE and it's requirements, please reference Document
393931.1 entitled 'Upgrading JRE (Native Plug-in) with Oracle E-Business
Suite 12 for Windows Clients'.
Oracle will continue to test and certify the Oracle E-Business
Suite with selected future versions of JRE releases in advance of their
general availability to the public. Oracle will update this documentation
with known compatibility issues or workarounds as needed. All current JRE
production versions equal to or higher than the minimum versions stated above
are compatible with Oracle E-Business Suite 12.

Shared Desktop Security
If multiple users share the same desktop, they may be able to
view a previous users browser content by pressing the 'Back' button on the
browser. To avoid this issue please set the 'Force Page Refresh' profile
option to 'Yes' at Site level in your Oracle E-Business Suite 12 instance.
Firefox: Blocked Plugins in Mozilla Firefox
Mozilla has changed the way that third party plugins are handled
within Firefox to a 'Click to Play' model. (For further information please
see the Mozilla article Putting
Users in Control of Plugins.)
This function may affect Oracle E-Business Suite users running
Oracle Forms by prompting the user to activate or upgrade the JRE Plug-in
before a form can be launched. Users running the latest version of the JRE
Plug-in will generally not be affected by this change. It is however
recommended that all users trust the JRE Plug-in within Firefox for their Oracle
E-Business Suite environments to prevent this message appearing when running
old or blocked releases. For information on how to do this please see 'How to
always activate a plugin for a trusted website' outlined in the Mozilla
article Why
do I have to click to activate plugins?.
Note: It is recommended
that Oracle E-Business Suite users move to the latest available version of
the JRE Plug-in. For information on upgrading please see:
Document
393931.1: Deploying JRE (Native Plug-in) for Windows Clients in Oracle
E-Business Suite Release 12.
Firefox: Importing an SSL Certificate
To trust the certificate authority and to stop this error page
appearing on future logins, add an exception:
1. Click the 'Add Exception...' button and the 'Add Security

JRE Plug-in Download Using Firefox
(oaj2se.exe)
Oracle E-Business Suite 12.0.x Users
If using a non-static versioning model (Patch 7567840 has not been applied) and the
correct 'JRE Plug-in' version is not already installed on the client it will not
automatically download from the web server when using a Firefox browser. This
issue is fixed in Oracle E-Business Suite 12.0.6 Release Update Pack (RUP6), Patch 6728000.
To workaround this problem, the user can either download and
install the JRE Plug-in, before launching the Oracle E-Business Suite, or can
still download it from the server as follows.
Clicking on a forms link through Firefox will activate the
'Plug-in Finder Service'. The user will then see the message 'Additional
plug-ins are required to display all the media on this page' in the task
bar.
- Click on the 'Install Missing
Plug-ins' button. (This will open a new window, search for the plug-in
but will not find it)
- Click on the 'Manual Install'
button, which should open another window saying:
Forbidden
You don't have permissions to access /OA_JAVA/ on this server.
- In the URL line on this
window change http://:/OA_JAVA to http://:/OA_HTML/oaj2se.exe.
- When asked if you wish save
the oaj2se.exe file. Click the 'Save File' button and install the file
onto your desktop
- Once it has installed
successfully, close down the firefox window and start a new session to
access the Oracle E-Business Suite.
Multiple Sessions
You may only access a single Oracle E-Business Suite instance
from a single desktop session when using the Firefox browser. Currently 'Internet
Explorer' is the only browser that allows you to access multiple
instances or multiple Application Responsibilities concurrently from the same
desktop session, through the use of multiple browser sessions.
Multiple Desktop JRE Plug-in Versions
Multiple Desktop JRE Plug-in Versions with
Firefox 3.x and higher
Firefox 3.0.x and higher supports 'Next-Generation JRE Plug-in'
technology which is enabled by default when running JRE 1.6.0_10 and higher.
Oracle E-Business Suite 12.0.x Users
Whilst there is limited backward compatibility, using the
jpi-version attribute of the MIME type to select a particular JRE version is
no longer supported when using the next-generation JRE plug-in (JRE 1.6.0_10
and higher). This patch changes the behavior within Oracle E-Business Suite
Release 12 by removing the jpi-version parameter to overload the usage of the application/x-java-applet MIME type and implement the java_version parameter for JRE version selection. Further information is
available from the JRE
Version Selection page.
This patch changes the behavior of Firefox 3.0 to a 'non-static
versioning' model. Earlier 'classic' java versions can also be run on this
new architecture and they will also then adhere to a non-static versioning
model.
Oracle E-Business 12.1.1 Users
Oracle E-Business 12.1.1 users do not require Patch 7567840. This architectural change is included by
default making Firefox 3.0 adhere to the non-static versioning model.
For further information on static and non-static versioning
please see Appendix A: Static vs Non-Static Versioning and Set Up Options in Document
393931.1, titled, 'Deploying JRE (Native Plug-in) for Windows Clients in
Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12'.
Multiple Desktop JRE Plug-in Versions with
Firefox (Static Versioning)
By default, Firefox only uses the latest version of the plug-in
that it finds on the desktop client. Unless Oracle E-Business Suite is set to
use the latest available version of the plug-in, users may not be able to
connect using earlier versions of the plug-in.
To enable Firefox to use multiple versions of the Plug-in from
the desktop client, (thus allowing the use of JRE Plug-ins on the desktop
that are not the latest version installed on that desktop) the following
workaround can be used:
Copy '<jre plug-in install folder>\bin\npjpi<plug-in
version number>.dll' to '<Firefox
install folder>\plugins'.
(Using JRE 1.6.0_03 as an example in a default installation,
this would be) -
Copy C:\Program
Files\Java\jre1.6.0_03\bin\npjpi160_03.dll to C:\Program
Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins
To check which
versions are available within Firefox type, 'about:plugins' in the address bar.
Note: This workaround is not valid when running
Firefox 3.0 with JRE 1.6.0_10 or higher installed on the desktop client.
Tab functionality in the Firefox Browser
Firefox uses tabbed browsing by default. Forms in Oracle
E-Business Suite are supported and launched through a separate frame.
Therefore, even with tabs enabled, the forms navigator and the forms windows
will continue to open in a new window and not in a new tab. This is intended
functionality and is not a bug.
Personal Homepage Setting
The ICX 'Personal Homepage' setting is not supported with the
Firefox browser.
Rich Text Editing
The Cut, Copy and Paste buttons within the Rich text Editor on
Oracle Applications Framework do not work by default when using a Firefox
browser. This is due to a security feature within Firefox. We recommend that
the keyboard shortcut keys, which do still work by default are used for this
functionality. If you still wish to use the buttons, this can be enabled by
editing the users Firefox preference file. Further information is available
from the Cut, Copy and
Paste Buttons and Security
preferences pages
BIDI Language Users
BIDI Languages are not supported with Self Service Applications
using the Firefox Browser.
Oracle Report Manager
Oracle Report Manager interaction with Excel will not work when
using the Firefox browser. This functionality requires the interaction of
ActiveX through VbScript, which is not supported in Firefox. Oracle Report
Manager users should run Internet Explorer for full functionality. Full
support through Firefox is being investigated.
Windows Vista with Firefox
Windows Vista and Windows 7 with Firefox
Balanced Scorecard Users
The VB client is not supported on Windows Vista or Windows 7.
Discoverer Users
Discoverer 10.1.2.3 is certified on Windows Vista. For further
information please see Document
456426.1.
Financial Analyzer and Sales Analyzer Users
Financial Analyzer and Sales Analyzer client versions (6.4) are
not supported on Windows Vista or Windows 7. Please use the OFA and OSA web
versions, see Document
470992.1.
XML Reports (RTF file extensions)
Windows Vista and Windows 7 users cannot open *.rtf format files
through the browser. When clicking the 'OK' button on the 'Opening *.rtf'
modal window the file will not open and the modal window will come up again.
To correct the problem, associate a different program such as Wordpad,
OpenOffice.org etc. with the .rtf extension on the desktop.
- Control Panel -> Default
Programs -> Associate a file type or protocol with a program
- Select .rtf under the Name
column from the list
- Click the 'Change Program'
button.
- Select an appropriate program
i.e. Wordpad
- Click the 'OK' button
