There is a change log at the end of this document.
Section 1: Overview
This document outlines the requirements for browsers that are certified for use with Oracle E-Business Suite R12.
Browsers may require specific patches for compatibility with Oracle E-Business Suite. Such patches are backwards compatiblewith earlier browser releases. For example, after installing the required Internet Explorer 11 patches you will still be able toaccess your environment using earlier Internet Explorer versions as well as alternative browsers.
Microsoft Edge Browser
The certification of Microsoft Edge on Windows 10 with Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1 and 12.2 is currently in progress.
Oracle E-Business Suite R12 has two interfaces: a web-based (OA Framework/HTML) model for modules like iProcurementand iStore, and Oracle Forms/Java based model for our professional services modules like Oracle Financials. Microsoft Edgedoes not support Java and will therefore only be certified for E-Business Suite customers running web-based (HTML / OA Framework) screens, running Java based content with Edge will not supported.

Internet Explorer: Known Issues
IE Alert: Internet Explorer Lifecycle Support
From January 12th 2016 Microsoft will only offer support for the latest version of IE that is available for each operatingsystem.
Windows 10, Windows 8.1 & Windows 7 users will require Internet Explorer 11Windows Vista users will require Internet Explorer 9
As Oracle's support of 3rd party applications aligns with the vendors, Oracle E-Business Suite users running Internet Explorershould also move to the recommended version for their operating system.
IE Alert: Java(TM) was blocked because it is out of date and needs to be updated
From the 9th September 2014 Internet Explorer has started blocking out of date ActiveX controls running through any security zone except the 'Localintranet' or the 'Trusted sites' zones when using IE 8 or later. Trying to run any Java content from your desktop using older JRE releases, prior to thelatest CPU's on any JRE stream, through any other zone for example the 'Internet' zone will now be blocked. This issue may therefore affect Oracle E-Business Suite users trying to access forms and any other Java content. Further information on this latest security feature is available from thisMicrosoft announcement and its associated links.
Oracle's recommendation has always been to run Oracle E-Business Suite through the 'Trusted sites' zone as outlined under the Internet Explorer:Recommended Browser Settings section within this document. Users that have followed this advisory or run their environments through the LocalIntranet zone will not be affected by this change within IE.
Users that are running their Oracle E-Business Suite environments through any other zone and are also using an old JRE version on any stream willnot be able to access forms or any other Java content. Microsoft provide a workaround in their documentation to turn this feature off which can beused to workaround this issue if desired. However, Oracle continues to recommend running your Oracle E-Business Suite environments to through the'Trusted sites' zone of the browser which will avoid this issue occurring.
Upgrading to the latest and therefore most secure JRE version will also prevent Java content being blocked from any IE security zone. For informationon upgrading to the latest JRE releases see Document 393931.1 titled, 'Deploying JRE (Native Plug-in) for Windows Clients in Oracle E-Business SuiteRelease 12'.

Software Support Lifecycle . It is recommended that users upgrade to a later release of the browser.
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 plug-in on, eitherstream, at their discretion. It is recommended to upgrade to the latest certified JRE releases to uptake the latest securityand functional fixes. For further information on upgrading JRE and it's requirements and known issues, please referenceDocument 393931.1 titled, 'Deploying JRE (Native Plug-in) for Windows Clients in Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12'.
Oracle will continue to test and certify the Oracle E-Business Suite with selected future versions of JRE releases in advanceof their general availability to the public. Oracle will update this documentation with known compatibility issues orworkarounds as needed.
3rd Party Software Support Lifecycle
Oracle's support of the various third party client operating system, service pack levels and browsers aligns with therespective vendor's support life cycle. Support timelines as well as Internet Explorer, Windows desktop operatingsystem and service pack requirements are available from Microsoft .
Internet Explorer: Prerequisite Patch Requirements
Internet Explorer 11 (32-bit and 64-bit)Windows 8.x (32-bit and 64-bit)Internet Explorer 8, 9 & 10 (64-bit)Internet Explorer 10 (32-bit)Internet Explorer 9 (32-bit)Internet Explorer 8 (32-bit)Internet Explorer 7 (32-bit) with Windows Vista
Internet Explorer 11 (32-bit and 64-bit)
Oracle E-Business Suite 12 is not certified with IE11 using either 'Enterprise Mode' or 'Compatibility View'.
Enterprise Mode: Internet Explorer 11 includes an 'Enterprise mode' which can be used to emulate Internet Explorer 8behavior and provide compatibility for earlier browser standards. This should not be used with Oracle E-Business Suite as itwill have no effect on certain issues. If you need to use 'Enterprise Mode' for other applications then EBS should be added asan exception to bypass it .
Compatibility View: Due to Display Issues in FWK (IE9 and 10) it was previously recommended to run E-Business Suiteusing the browsers 'Compatibility View'. These display issues have been fixed for IE11 through the IE 11 Patch Requirementslisted below. Once you have applied the prerequisite patches, you should run E-Business Suite pages without enabling the'Compatibility View' feature in the browser. You can check this by navigating to Internet Explorer 11 -> Tools -> Compatibility
View settings, and ensuring that;(a) your instance domain is NOT part of the Compatibility View settings, and(b) the 'Display intranet sites in Compatibility View' is unchecked.
Users must apply the recommended prerequisite patches listed within this section to fix compatibility issues with Oracle E-Business Suite 12.
IE 11 Prerequisite Patch Requirements
To use IE11 with Oracle E-Business Suite 12, apply the following General patches (or later) including any furtherprerequisite patch requirements as stated in the patch readme files as applicable to your EBS release. Other productpatches listed will also be required if you use those particular products.

Internet Explorer: Recommended Browser Settings
Security Zones
Microsoft Internet Explorer offers four different security zones to run your application through. Which zone is used isdependant how you are accessing your site (Internet or Local Intranet) and set up within the zones themselves (Trustedsites & 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 Suitethrough it. The defaults are as follows:
Zone Usage Defau
Internet Web sites not placed in other zones Me
Local Intranet Web sites on your organization's intranet Me
Trusted Sites Web sites you trust not to damage your computer
Restricted Sites Web sites that could potentially damage your computer
NOTE: It is recommended that Oracle E-Business Suite is run through the 'Trusted Sites' zone, with a 'Medium'Security Setting.
Trusted Sites Zone
Certain products and functions within Oracle E-Business Suite require the manipulation of the default browser securityzone settings to function correctly. Altering security settings in the Internet Zone is not recommended because you areaccessing more widespread web data of which you may not know the source. The Trusted Sites zone allows you toprecisely control which specific sites or domains will be accessed through this zone. This allows you, if required, tomanipulate the settings with minimal security risk.
Setting up Oracle E-Business Suite to run through the 'Trusted Sites' zone with a 'Medium' Security Setting.
Step 1: Select Tools -> Internet Options -> Security tab -> Trusted Sites icon -> Sites(button) from the Internet Explorer Menu Bar.Step 2: If required, set the Security Level for this Zone to Medium .Step 3: In the Add this Web site to the zone: field, enter the 'hostname and domain' of yourOracle E-Business Suite environment,e.g. https://. , then click the Add button.Alternatively you can simply add the domain name precede7 d by * , so that all sites underthat domain go through this zone, e.g. *.
Note: If you are entering an http://... or *.domain address, you must first uncheck the Require server verification(https:) for all sites in this zone check box. You may re-check this steeing again after entering your values.
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 downloadthe oaj2se.exe file from the middle tier if the user does not already have the appropriate version installed on theirdesktop.

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 maycheck if the page has been updated since your last visit by manually refreshing the page, however it is desirable for this tobe 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 yourOracle 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 bynavigating toTools -> Internet Options -> Advanced tab -> Security settings and ticking Do not save encrypted pagesto Disk .

AutoComplete in Internet Explorer
IE can automatically show previous values entered in the same form field. For privacy and security reasons this featureshould 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 .
Internet Explorer: Importing an SSL Certificate
Note : Windows 8 and higher users may be required to run with elevated privileges to install an SSL certificate into thebrowser
Connecting to a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) enabled environment requires the certificate to be 'Trusted'. If the certificate isnot 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'ssecurity 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. Thereforethe security message will still display.
If the certificate has wrongly been installed into the 'Intermediate Certification Authorities' please remove it through thebrowser 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 'EnableProtected Mode' to be disabled (not checked), which is the default setting in the 'Trusted Sites' zone. This feature isonly 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:
1. Enter the URL in the browser2. From the browser menu select: Tools -> Internet Options -> Security -> Trusted Sites icon. Security setting should
be 'Medium' by default3. Make sure the 'Enable Protected Mode' option is off (not checked)4. 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)5. Save the changes and close the browser window6. Enter the URL in a new browser window7. 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)'.8. In the task bar click on the Red certificate error9. An Untrusted Certificate Window Pops, click on 'View Certificates'
10. Click on Certification Path 'Tab'11. Highlight the Root certificate (will probably have a white cross in a red background next to it) and press 'View
Certificate'12. Click on Install Certificate 'button' and press next13. Select 'Place all the certificates in the following store'14. Click 'Browse' and tick the 'Show physical Stores' box.15. Click the + next to 'Trusted Root Certification Authorities' folder
16. If a folder exists called 'Local Computer' Click on it and select 'Okay'17. If that folder does not exist, highlight 'Trusted Root Cer tification Authorities' folder and select 'Okay'18. Press 'Next' followed by 'Finish'19. When the Security Window pops asking if you wish to install it, say 'Yes' then hit the 'finish' button20. 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 theautomatic facility (Into the 'Intermediate Certification Authorities' zone). To remove the certificate:
Open the browser and go to Tools -> Internet Options -> Content -> Certificates -> Intermediate Certificate AuthoritiesHighlight the appropriate certificate for the instance you are trying to access, press the 'Remove' button then closedown the browserOpen a new browser session and follow the steps above to install the certificate into the 'Trusted Certificates'folder

Internet Explorer runs in a multi-process architecture whereby there is a Frame (Manager) process and one or more Tab(Content) processes. With IE10 and later there is no longer a separate 32-bit and 64-bit install of the browser when running a64-bit version of Windows. In this instance the Frame (Manager) process always runs as 64-bit while the Tab (Content) processcan run as either 32-bit or 64-bit.
Internet Explorer Settings
To run Oracle E-Business Suite through a 64-bit browser using a 64-bit JRE release you will need to set the following values inInternet Explorer:
Windows 7 (64-bit)
Select (Check) the following values:
Tools -> Internet Options -> Security -> (e.g. Trusted Sites) -> Enable ProtectedModeTools -> Internet Options -> Advanced -> Enable Enhanced Protection Mode
Windows 10 (64-bit) and Windows 8.1 (64-bit)
Select (Check) the following values:
Tools -> Internet Options -> Security -> (e.g. Trusted Sites) -> Enable ProtectedModeTools -> Internet Options -> Advanced -> Enable 64-bit processes for Enhanced ProtectionMode
Do not select (Uncheck) the following value:Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced -> Enable Enhanced Protection Mode
If you have " Enable Enhanced Protection Mode" selected (checked) when launching JRE you will see the followingwarning in the browser window.
Click the Don't Run button and uncheck the value in the browser as outlined above.
(Clicking the Run Control button will disable Enhanced Protected Mode which will not allow the 64-bit JRE releaseto run. It will instead try to launch using a 32-bit version if available.)
General Checks and Settings
User Access Control Setting (UAC)
Ensure the 'User Account Control Setting' (UAC) is not set to "Never Notify". This can be found under:
Control Panel -> Action Center -> Change User Account Control Settings
The default value for this setting is "Notify me only when programs try to make changes to my computer".Therefore, unless this was changed by the user it is unlikely it would need altering.
32-bit Add-ons
If the browser has 32-bit add-ons or toolbars installed then the tab process will continue to open in 32-bit mode andprevent you running a 64-bit application. These can be checked through the IE Menu at the following locations:
Tools -> Manage add-ons -> Toolbars and Extensions -> Show: Currently loaded add-ons
Tools -> Manage add-ons -> Toolbars and Extensions -> Show: Downloaded Controls
Any add-ons listed with a value of "32-bit" in the Architecture column must be disabled or uninstalled. Add-ons with avalue of "32-bit and 64-bit" are okay to use in a 64-bit browser tab and can remain enabled.
After removing or disabling any old add-ons, clear the browser cache and start a new browser session.
Check the Browser Set Up
To verify your browser is using 64-bit tabs, run through the steps in this section.
1. Close any open IE browser sessions2. Open a new IE session3. Launch your EBS environments logon page4. Check the bitness of your IE tabs process as appropriate to your Windows version as explained below:

Open Windows Task Manager -> Processes (tab)
If your tab is running as 64-bit you should see two "iexplore.exe" processes. If you see one process named"iexplore.exe" and another named "iexplore.exe *32" your tabs are still running on 32-bit. If this is the caseyou should recheck the set up steps above.
Windows 8.1 Users
Open Windows Task Manager -> Details (tab) Right click on one of the columns and click Select columnsCheck Platform The Platform column should now appear in the table showing whether the process is 32-bit or 64-bit
Your iexplore.exe processes should show as 64-bit if the tab is working correctly. If one of the iexplore.exeprocesses is running as 32-bit recheck the set up steps above.
Reset the Browser
If you are still getting a 32-bit tab, as a last resort you can try resetting your browser. While this will disable toolbars andadd-ons it will also set it back to its original state. You will therefore need to reset the browser parameters above as wellas any other parameters you may have altered for your business requirements (WebADI required settings for example).To reset the browser select the following from the IE Menu:
Tools -> Internet options -> Advanced (tab) -> Reset (button) -> Reset (button)

64-bit Internet Explorer Issues (IE8 and IE9)
The issues outlined in this section are specific to users running an IE 64-bit browser.
Default B rowser
By design Microsoft do not allow the 64-bit version of Internet Explorer to be set as the default browser on thedesktop:
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 mayrequire 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 MicrosoftExcel will open in the user's default browser . If the user has an active Oracle E-Business Suite session open in thedefault browser, then when the user selects a drill down link, the corresponding Oracle General Ledger pageappears directly. If the user does not have an active Oracle E-Business Suite session, or if the Oracle E-BusinessSuite session is in another browser (e.g. 64-bit), then the Oracle E-Business Suite login page appears first in thedefault browser, and the user must log in and select a responsibility to access the Oracle General Ledger drill downpage. For ease of use, it is recommended that users requiring this function run Oracle E-Business Suite in theirdefault 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 thebrowser is unable to load 32-bit ActiveX controls. Please use a 32-bit version of Internet Explorer to run thisproduct.
Multiple EBS Sessions (IE8 and Higher)
Previous releases of Internet Explorer (IE7 and earlier) allowed users to logon to the same Oracle E-Business Suiteenvironment 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 isbecause the same session id is used when accessing the same Oracle E-Business Suite environment. By default this willoccur if you select New Window , New Tab or Duplicate Tab from the the browsers File menu, or if you open anotherbrowser window through the desktop browser icon.This can result in unusual behavior with invalid sessions causing errors such as Your login session has becomeinvalid" , "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 environmentrunning IE8 and higher please use one of the workarounds below to ensure each browser session remains independent:
1. Open a new explorer window using its own session cookie by selecting File -> New Session from the Menu Barin an existing browser window.
Users may have to enable the Menu Bar first by right clicking the browser header frame and selecting MenuBar .
2. Run from the command line adding the -noframemerging parameter e.g. Start -> Run -> iexplore -noframemerging
3. Create a new IE icon adding the -noframemerging parameter e.g.Start -> Program FilesRight 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" -noframemergingClick the OK button to close the windowThis icon may then be copied to the desktop if desired

If this does not resolve the problem or you are not running multiple sessions, please try clearing your browser cache bydeleting 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 tabsinto separate processes on the desktop to improve performance and browser recovery if a tab crashes. Oracle E-BusinessSuite 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 orhigher 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 seenbecause not every tab will necessarily be started in its own process because LCIE will attempt to balance reliabilitywith performance. Therefore the issue of multiple java console windows is most likely to be seen if running from ahigh 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 .

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 launchedthrough a separate frame. Therefore, even with tabs enabled, the forms navigator and the forms windows willcontinue 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 afteropening the LOV in a new tab causing the application to freeze. To unfreeze the application and regain focus withinthe 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 TabSelect either: Let Internet Explorer decide how pop-ups should openor: 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 awindow 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 isnot associated, the Window will not open or will briefly open and then close immediately. This may occur forexample, when using 'File -> Export' to an excel spreadsheet or when opening an attachment from E-BusinessSuite.
To fix this issue, using the 'Trusted Sites' zone as an example, (which is recommended for running Oracle E-Business Suite through):
1. Select 'Tools' -> 'Internet Options' -> 'Security' (tab) -> 'Trusted Sites' -> 'CustomLevel' (button) -> 'Downloads' from the browser menu.
2. Set 'Automatic prompting for file downloads' to 'Enable' .3. Save the setting and close the browser window.4. Start a new browser session and login to Oracle E-Business Suite.5. This time, when trying to open the attachment or export data you should see a pop up windows titled 'File
Download' .6. Uncheck the checkbox labeled, 'Always ask before opening this type of file' and click the 'open'
button.7. The file should now display correctly.8. 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 thatsetting.
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 PanelDouble-click Add or Remove ProgramsSelect the appropriate toolbarClick the Remove button

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 furtherinformation 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 upgradethe JRE Plug-in before a form can be launched. Users running the latest version of the JRE Plug-in will generally not beaffected 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 onhow to do this please see 'How to always activate a plugin for a trusted website' outlined in the Mozilla article Why do Ihave 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:

General Firefox Issues
Firefox ESR 38.0.1 Performance Issue
Loading Java content using Firefox ESR 38.0.1 can show performance degradation if accessing any URL outside of yourown network. If your jars are signed by a 3rd party provider, the certificate revocation function will attempt to connect totheir network to run the check, which is outside your internal network. This is due to a bug in the Firefox 38 base releasewhereby the default 'Use Browser Settings' value is not being picked up and instead content is running using a directconnection. .
Fix
This issue is fixed in Firefox ESR 38.1.0.
If you are unable to upgrade at this time you can avoid the issue by using the following workaround.
Workaround
To workaround this issue, add either your proxy server information under 'Use Proxy Server' or your proxy configurationscript details under 'Use automatic proxy configuration script' in the Java Control Panel and select that value instead of thedefault 'Use browser settings' option:
Java Control Panel -> General (tab) -> Network Settings (button)

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 notalready installed on the client it will not automatically download from the web server when using a Firefox browser. Thisissue 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 a re 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 findit)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 desktopOnce 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 Firefoxbrowser. 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
It is strongly recommended Oracle E-Business Suite 12.0.x users running Firefox 3.0 users apply Patch 7567840 .Without this patch the latest JRE plug-in version on the desktop would have to match the JRE plug-in version beingcalled from the web server to successfully load a form. See Multiple Desktop JRE Plug-in Versions with Firefox(Static Versioning)
Whilst there is limited backward compatibility, using the jpi-version attribute of the MIME type to select a particularJRE version is no longer supported when using the next-generation JRE plug-in (JRE 1.6.0_10 and higher). Thispatch changes the behavior within Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 by removing the jpi-version parameter tooverload the usage of the application/x-java-applet MIME type and implement the java_version parameterfor 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 canalso 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 defaultmaking 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 SetUp Options in Document 393931.1 , titled, 'Deploying JRE (Native Plug-in) for Windows Clients in Oracle E-Business SuiteRelease 12'.
(Return to Prerequisite Patch Requirements section if required.)
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-BusinessSuite is set to use the latest available version of the plug-in, users may not be able to connect using earlier versions of theplug-in.
To enable Firefox to use multiple versions of the Plug-in from the desktop client, (thus allowing the use of JRE Plug-ins onthe 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 installfolder >\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\MozillaFirefox\plugins
To check which versions are available within Firefox type, ' about:plugins ' in the addressbar.
Note: This workaround is not valid when running Firefox 3.0 with JRE 1.6.0_10 or higher installed on thedesktop 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 separateframe. Therefore, even with tabs enabled, the forms navigator and the forms windows will continue to open in a newwindow 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 defaultwhen using a Firefox browser. This is due to a security feature within Firefox. We recommend that the keyboard shortcutkeys, which do still work by default are used for this functionality. If you still wish to use the buttons, this can be enabledby editing the users Firefox preference file. Further information is available from the Cut, Copy and Paste Buttons andSecurity preferences pages
