Thanks, Henry! I did not know about unchecking "Run in safe mode"
(hidden unless you hold down the option key). After doing that, I can
run Jmol_S Java applet from local files (FirstGlance in Jmol) in Safari,
which is convenient for testing while developing.
We list browsers that still support Java here:
http://proteopedia.org/w/Installing_and_enabling_Java#Browsers_That_Support_Java
Those that will run Jmol_S Java applet from local files are:
OS X: Waterfox, Seamonkey, Safari (fussy to configure, see above).
Firefox ESR (see above link) maybe -- my system is unreliable for
testing this for idiosyncratic reasons.
Windows 10: Pale Moon, Seamonkey, Maxthon (but see caution about data
sent to China by Maxthon at above link). I can't test Waterfox or
Firefox ESR because I don't have 64-bit Windows.
All browsers that will run Jmol_S/Java applet from local files will also
run JSmol from local files, with the exception of Maxthon.
Best regards, Eric

Apologies if my post-tracking is not up to scratch. I have been silently
grappling with Java security policies on my own routine browser Safari. This
browser, including the “Safari technology preview”, the latest version of
which was released only yesterday, still support the browser plugin API.
Each host does have to be individually enabled, and more than that it has to
be set to run in “safe mode” if Java requires read/write access from local
user directories. But having done that it is still supported, even in the
future-looking technology preview version. I have documented it here for our
own local use:https://wiki.ch.ic.ac.uk/wiki/index.php?title=It:jmol

David,
May I ask what is the information you have regarding future support of Java
by Waterfox?

It's hard to know how much any of us should invest in these java-specific
issues given the aggressive nature of browsers toward javascript --
but my website really serves my research group, not the general public, and
there I can certainly get the users to install Waterfox+JAVA.
