IBM TS2900 (3572) Tape Autoloader Java?

I have a TS2900 (3572-S6H) Tape Autoloader using Java. But now because I updated to Firefox Version 52.0.1 I can no longer get into the the web interface with out using IE. Because of my hatred for IE I am wondering if this TS2900 (3572-S6H) Tape Autoloader's web interface has been updated to use HTML5 or something so I can access with out using IE..

Library Firmware: 0058.0000  
Driver Firmware Version: F9A1

Thanks

There probably is another way. Please post the source of the page

Here you go.

<html>
<head>
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function setCookie(c,y,m,d){
exp=new Date();
day = 60 * 60 * 24 * d;
mon = 60 * 60 * 24 * 31 * m;
year = 60 * 60 * 24 * 366 * y;
exp.setTime(exp.getTime()+day+mon+year);
document.cookie = c + "; " + "expires=" + exp.toGMTString();
}
function getCookie(){
if(document.cookie){
return document.cookie;
}
return "";
}

Also IE works, so if you need to use it for this application, use and move on. Use FF for all your other needs.

Yes - so you can just use appletviewer (possibly in conjunction with a shortcut). JDK needs to be installed though
CEHJ

Oops - hang on. I think the applet interacts with the page maybe? In which case you need a browser
You can also try first:
java -jar WebAdmin.jar

Open in new window

if not, then:
java -cp WebAdmin.jar webadmin.WebAdmin

Open in new window

Of course you need to 'download' the jar to do that

You can't use firefox because support for Java has been removed? Try the extended support release version as Java hasn't been removed from that.

Java may be removed from ESR in 2018 though, then you'll have a problem with your library again and I'll have problems with Brocade switches and tons of other kit.

Oddly I found that solution on UKmail website, I had subscribed to this thread earlier but had no solution then today I went to ship some parts and there it was in big red letters - "if you use our label printers with Firefox then you need this version".

So is the applet heavily involved with the page? Or is the functionality within the applet?
