Problem is with Chrome 42 version browser which got updated on April 14^th 2015. Chrome is getting rid of NPAPI support.

April 2015

In April 2015 (Chrome 42) NPAPI support will be disabled by default in Chrome and we will unpublish extensions requiring NPAPI plugins from the Chrome Web Store. All NPAPI plugins will appear as if they are not installed, as they will not appear in the navigator.plugins list nor will they be instantiated (even as a placeholder). Although plugin vendors are working hard to move to alternate technologies, a small number of users still rely on plugins that haven’t completed the transition yet. We will provide an override for advanced users (via chrome://flags/#enable-npapi) and enterprises (via Enterprise Policy) to temporarily re-enable NPAPI (via the page action UI) while they wait for mission-critical plugins to make the transition. In addition, setting any of the plugin Enterprise policies (e.g. EnabledPlugins, PluginsAllowedForUrls) will temporarily re-enable NPAPI.

September 2015

In September 2015 (Chrome 45) we will remove the override and NPAPI support will be permanently removed from Chrome. Installed extensions that require NPAPI plugins will no longer be able to load those plugins.

There is work around for this issue. We have do download and install Safari browser in windows system. Its work same as previous versions of  chrome browser.

Regards,

Shekar

Well I see some problems ahead: Chrome is one of the rare Browsers working with the new LUMIRA for BIP - but what good is a BIP when I have to use different browsers for different parts of the BIP?

- ohoh..

hi Philip,

we are also faced similar issue, hope you are not having this issue in your old chrome version. so you may try to uninstall the updated version and install the old chrome version then disable the automatic update of your chrome browser in the system level(for windows regedit), for how to disable the option try to search and apply in your system.

Regards,

Balaji

Yes, Chrome 42+ disables Java and other NPAPI plugins by default. There is a workaround, but it will cease to work on Chrome 45, which is scheduled to arrive in September.

Hi,

Regarding the workaround - right-click and not allowing it and have plugins enabled.

What am I misssing?

Also with regards Sept 2015 will chrome be usable with business objects?

Thanks

You have to go into chrome://flags and enable NPAPI support, then relaunch the browser.

In September you could still use Chrome with BI4x, just not any of the Java applet pieces.

what version of Java you have? 32 Bit or 64 Bit? It looks like latest version of Chrome has this issue.
