I noticed that the java extension is no longer allowed on chrome, firefox, safari and edge. Is there any way to download mods from those browsers anymore? Anytime I attempt to download .jar file mods, they open as internet explorer files. And if i click more ways to install, the only options are notepad and paint and internet explorer! How can i get mods to download on my pc again?(the same thing goes for the forge installer).
do you know exactly where i could find the setting to allow the .jar files to open on either firefox or chrome? I'm digging through the settings of both the browser and security and don't see anything about blocking certain file types. Also, java isn't detected on their website when i click "do you have java installed" but I do have it, as I use the java edition of minecraft.
Hey everyone,
I noticed that the java extension is no longer allowed on chrome, firefox, safari and edge. Is there any way to download mods from those browsers anymore?

Java .jar files are considered executable files, so your browser security settings are not allowing it. Check the browser's security settings.
Another option is to use an alternate MC launcher, like Twitch or MultiMC to create Profiles and modpacks.

i figured it out. My .jar file had been hijacked, so i just needed to wipe presets and reset the .jar executable to default.
