Why can't I launch the Java SSH Client from the AWS Management Console?

Question

In the AWS Management Console, I select an EC2 instance and then I click "Connect" from the Instance Actions menu. I see the following popup window:

Instead of the fields I should normally see, I get the above message about enabling java in my browser. But java is enabled in my browser. I tested it with this page to confirm. I'm running Java SE 6 Update 24.

I'm using Google Chrome v20.0 on Linux Mint 13 64bit. I also tried with Firefox and the result is the same. I can access Java SSH Client without any problem from my Windows box, so it may be a Linux-specific issue.

Answer 1

Use Firefox or safari, it works fine.
