Nowadays,Internet Exploreris the only browser with support for Java plugins and applets (NPAPI). Many java issues are related either to the Java version installed on your PC or to the cache.

JavaFX does not run into your browser but runs from a browser. When you click the link, the app using JavaFX should be downloaded and then run on your desktop, like any other standalone Java application.
