2. Configure your browser to Enable Java, Enable Java Script, and Accept all Cookies.  

In Mozilla Firefox, select the Add-ons Manager tab:
  • Click on the menu button and choose Add-ons. The Add-ons Manager tab will open.
  • In the Add-ons Manager tab, select the Plugins panel
  • Click on the Java(TM) Platform plugin to select it.
  • If Java is disabled, click on Never Activate to open its drop-down menu and select the option to activate Java. The recommended (default) option is Ask to Activate, which lets you run Java when prompted.
 
In Internet Explorer,

Click Adobe Acrobat Reader and follow the download and installation procedures provided at the Adobe download site.
