Dear Rolf,
I confirm the failure of translation by mouse (all 3 methods) in Firefox
with Java, and the failure of wheel zoom in Firefox or Safari (but yes
translation is working in Safari+Java).
However, I tested in OS 10.10.5 *Yosemite*, with Java 1.8.0_*101*,
Firefox 49.0, Safari *10.0*.
Zoom by Shift-Drag: works in Safari, NOT in Firefox.
Zoom by drag at right edge of Jmol_S window: works in both Firefox and
Safari.
Let us sadly remember that Oracle has announced plans to deprecate the
Java browser plugin in 1.9, and to discontinue the plugin at a future
date. Also Firefox plans to discontinue Java browser plugin by the end
of this year. See links at
http://proteopedia.org/w/Installing_and_enabling_Java (Firefox link
under "Alternatives").
I have been reluctant to upgrade from Yosemite to El Capitan.
On my main workstation, the Java plugin broke about a year ago for
unknown reasons, during an upgrade of Java. Since then I have been
unable to get Java to work in Firefox or Safari on that workstation
(2014 MacBook Pro). I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox and
Java. Also I upgrade Java regularly. The Jmol application works, but not
the plugin. Any suggestions welcome as this is quite frustrating! My
tests above were on a 2013 Mac Mini.
Best regards, Eric

Hi all,
I recently upgraded the operating system of my MacBook from 'Mavericks'
to 'El Capitan' (10.11.6). This included also to upgrade Oracle Java to
1.8.0_102 and Firefox to 49.0.
In Firefox it is now impossible on my system to translate the model in
Jmol (14.6.3_2016.09.18, also earlier versions) with the mouse by any of
the mouse gestures described in the mouse manual
(http://wiki.jmol.org/index.php/MouseManual):
a) Shift + double-click and drag the main button
b) double-click and drag the middle button
c) Ctrl + drag the secondary button
It also doesn't work any more to bind 'translate' directly to dragging
of the middle button.
In Safari 9.1.2 all three mouse gestures still work. And in JSmol
(Javascript) they also work in Firefox.
In the Jmol application the mouse gestures also work.
In addition, the mouse wheel doesn't work for zooming in Jmol both in
Firefox and Safari. Instead the window is scrolled down. It also doesn't
help to click first into the applet window before using the mouse wheel.
But this already happened with Mavericks.
Kind regards,
Rolf
