'''Firefox''' appears to be [http://www.ghacks.net/2015/01/24/mozilla-adds-npapi-plug-in-sandbox-to-firefox/ continuing to support the NPAPI interface] required for Java. '''Internet Explorer''' and '''Safari''' support Java. See below for details for each of these browsers.
'''Firefox''' is still [http://www.ghacks.net/2015/01/24/mozilla-adds-npapi-plug-in-sandbox-to-firefox/ supporting the NPAPI interface] required for Java, but has announced [https://blog.mozilla.org/futurereleases/2015/10/08/npapi-plugins-in-firefox/ it will stop doing so at the end of 2016], at least in the standard browser setup. The new '''64bit Firefox''' does not support Java at all.
 
'''Internet Explorer''' and '''Safari''' support Java. See below for details for each of these browsers.
 
'''Pale Moon''' is an independent browser, but very similar to Firefox, whose developer [http://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?t=9805 has announced] indefinite support for NPAPI plugins, and hence is an alternative to continue running Jmol applets inside web pages, at least while Oracle continues to provide the Java Plug-in.
