Have a new Inteset 422 V3, bought a cable off ebay that I think will work. Of course, I need Remote Master.

So, just downloaded RemoteMaster.v2.07build2.zip and am informed I need Java Runtime Environment (JRE) support. A page here directed me to Sun Microsystems and investigating installing JRE it says that it's not supported for my browser, Firefox. I'm running Windows 10 64bit on an Intel laptop.

I also have Pale Moon browser installed and the default Microsoft Edge is here, but I only use it when necessary for something the other browsers can't accommodate.

So, what's the situation here? Do I need to run MS Edge in conjunction with running Remote Master or just for installing the JRE?

What is the link that is telling you that you can't use Firefox?

there are som old web-based games that needed java (not java script) to run.
So Java wants to be run be installed in your browser addons

For security reasons I always set java to not be allowed to be run from my browser.

RMIR/RM does not need java to be accessible from your browser. So the messafe is unimportant. If you can’t get installed from Firefox fire up the Security-nightmare Internet Explorer and download and install it.

Make sure to go to the control panel and open the Java control and check the security settings.

Java was first conceived as a language to extend the browser. Thing has changed, Java is now a general-purpose programming language, and since some time, Java support in the browser is either not supported, or discouraged. (Sun Microsystems also does not exist any more; bought by Oracle, including Java ownership.)

The current JRE installs without touching browser. So of course there are no requirements on browser either.

Edit: changed "with" to "without"... Embarassed

I'm not comprehending. Do I install JRE as an add-on to Firefox?

OK. Managed to install JRE and then RM on this machine. I've installed JRE in the past several times, but it's been a while.
