Hi all,



In our school district we are seeing an issue with Java unable to be successfully detected in Firefox per the PARCC testing technical requirements.




  • JSS is up to date.

  • Firefox is up to date.

  • Java is running the recommended version from Oracle.



Is there a possibility that JSS is somehow obstructing the running of the Java Applet in Firefox in this particular instance?



The last discussion I saw on PARCC was January of 2015, so I was hoping to reopen the conversation with our issue(s).

For PARCC this year we are totally going with the new published app at http://download.testnav.com so we don't have to worry about Java or browsers.



If you're inclined on sticking with a browser, I would check to see if you get the same behavior from other browsers or not to see if the problem is with FireFox or with your Java installation.

The TestNav app has worked great for us all year with the ACT Aspire test.

The published app is working phenomenally. But, our administrators want us to have a Plan B.



Thanks for the advice!
