FF blocks Java 7 update 45. Why? Explanation regards 7U11.

Have installed Java 7 update 45.
Have both 32- and 64-bit versions installed from Oracle website.
Works in Chrome.
Firefox 24.0 displays error message stating that the Java plugin has known vulnerabilities.
On the support page there is a link to this explanation from January 2013 which regards Java 7 update 11.
https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2013/01/11/protecting-users-against-java-vulnerability/
Does anyone have a permanent fix and preferably an explanation for this?
I know how to allow Java to run once as well as always on a specific site
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-to-enable-java-if-its-been-blocked
What I'm wondering is why Firefox still blocks Java per default when Java has been updated many times since the explanation was written.
Thanks a bunch!

Although I like this idea, you (Firefox dev) still need to provide a way to enable the plugin regardless.
I have already encountered 2 cases which break the user experience without giving an option to activate the plugin:
1. you're using Raritan for out-of-band management of computers
2. you're using HP iLO for out-of-band management of computers
in both cases Firefox does not present me with an option to enable Java. HP iLO uses javascript to call the applet. Raritan calls the applet from some other frame on login, and who knows what the applets are doing in the background.
I can't tell HP or any other vendor to switch their code to something else. Firefox should give me an option to enable Java or I'll have to switch to another browser. At that point, what's the use for Firefox? I can simply stay on the other browser forever.
The way this is currently implemented is breaking things. Fix it.

Mavericks (10.9.1) blocking Java 7 update 51

I am trying to play the NY Times Java Acrostic. Every couple of months I have to update Java in order to get the applet to load (I get a message that my Java is out of date). This time I updated to Java 7 update 51, installed it, verified that it is successfully installed. But every time I try to click on the Java Acrostic, I get an error message where the Acrostic normally is located reading "Error. Click for details." I click and get a box headed "Application Blocked. Click for detais" with a red stop sign icon (the first few times it was just a white "i" in t blue circle icon) that states "Your security settings have blocked an untrusted application from running." There are three buttons: Details, Ignore, Reload. "Ignore" and "Reload" accomplish nothing. "Details" gets me a "Java Console" box which reads:

The Times is stumped. I went to Safari Preferences (Security) and both the Times website and Java Applet are set to "Always Allow." Java Preferences' Security tab is set to "Medium" as several tech websites instruct (apparently this is a HUGE known issue with the latest updates to Mavericks and Java). This did not happen until I updated Mavericks to 10.9.1.

I'm not an expert, but I've gotten around this problem in the following way.
Go to the Java Control Panel
Click on the Security Tab
Look for the Exception Site List toward the bottom, and click "Edit Site List"
I added these sites to the list. Not sure if all are needed, but I was able to do the acrostic afterwards.

You may need to quit Safari and restart it. Good luck.

Java is blocked. Don't know why. Error: Application Blocked Java Plug-In 10.51.2.13 using JRE version 1.7.0_51-b13 Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM

Java 7 update 11 can not be stored in the computer (10.8.2.) Why?

Java 7 update 11 has trouble. It does jump over installing place, and are not stored even if it says its completed. Help..

I've installed the latest version of Java [EDIT: latest as of a week ago] directly from Oracle's website. I just checked and Java applets residing on my computer work as expected.
Easiest way to determine if Java is installed is to check System Preferences, because this is where J7v11+ preferences are found now (a change from Oracle).
There is a process within the Safari browser where Apple can impose minimum versions of plugins. Recently such an imposition was made, that effectively disables Java in the browser. This is equivalent to unchecking the Java checkbox in Safari preferences. You can also disable Java in the browser for all browsers via the Java Preferences in System Preferences.
What Apple did was to limit the allowable version of Java in Safari to a version that does not exist (ie a newer version number than the latest version from Oracle). As mentioned, this effectively disables Java in Safari.
However, you should be able to use an alternate browser (eg Firefox) and enable Java in the browser via the Oracle Java preference pane found in System Preferences (and double check with Firefox's preferences).
This assumes you've properly installed the latest version of Java from Oracle directly. In this case, Java should work in Firefox but not in Safari, and Java apps residing on your hard drive should work as normal (unless they're incompatible with the latest version of Java from Oracle).
Now, on my system, Java from Oracle was installed prior to the latest effort by Apple to disable Java in Safari. So, although I don't see a reason why it should be any different, it's possible that someone trying to download Java from Oracle might not be able to fully install it.
In order to determine if that's the case, I suggest users look for the Java Preference Pane in System Preferences to see if it was sucessfully installed.
UPDATE: I am currently downloading j7v13 via the Control Panel. All seems fine. It may well be that v12 was skipped because that was the version imposed by Apple for a "legal" plugin for Safari. Either way the latest version of Java (and Flash) should always be installed since those two are prime vectors for attack on most computers via the browser.

My computer is running Java 6 Update 34, does Firefox Block it because it isn't the latest version of Java? Because i cant launch Webex using Firefox.

For some reason i need to have java 6 install in my computer to run some program, but then im unable to have webex to run on Firefox, it says java not install.
But im able to run using IE, i really dont like IE and wish to stay with Firefox. Is it Firefox block it and is there anyway to unblock?

Nope, Not working. Same error happens when i update my Java 6 Update 34 to Update 45. But yet still i cant launch Webex.
But i try to install Java 7 into my computer, once Java 7 install, then able to launch Webex. Just wish to know is it block by Firefox?
==========================================================
This is the error message i got:

JRE7 Update 13 blocking java applet from calling javascript functions

Hi there,
I'm having a problem where I have a javascript web app that launches an applet that communicates back to the javascript via invoking javascipt methods. It uses the method call from netscape.javascript.JSObject to achieve this. Pre JRE7 Update 13, everything worked fine, but now whenever I try to call a javascript method, it throws a netscape.javascript.JSException: No such method "..." on JavaScript object . This happens only on Firefox and Chrome; however it still works fine in Internet Explorer. Are there some new security settings in JRE7u13 that need to be addressed in order to allow javascript method calling, or is it a Java/Firefox/Chrome bug?
Thank you for any help!

I've filed a bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=839967 but I'm having problems reproducing it in a testcase...everything works. Quite baffling, our application that had worked and still works with other browsers and with an old version of firefox (12) stopped working with the Java 7 update 13.

Java 7 update 17 not working in safari

I am just setting up a new laptop, and installed the latest java 7 update 17. It works fine on Firefox, but will not work in Safari. Before you tell me "dont use java", I have to. My works website uses java for download, so I must have it (until we move to Aspera).
I have checked both the system Java version (latest, and enabled) and the browsers settings. Java is enabled in all places it should be, yet I cannot get it to work in Safari. The Java website even tells me it cant even verify if Im running java or not. This is very annoying.
So to recap:
Safari: Enable Plugins, Enable Java and Enable Javascript is turned on.
Block Pop Ups is turned off.
Java 7 Update 17 has been installed on this computer.
Java:
System Tells me Im running the recommended version.
Security: Is set to HIGH, I even turned it lower at one point.
Ive repaired permissions, rebooted, etc. but no luck.
Any ideas?

I work for a financial institution that uses Java for the online banking system. It works amazing as we have almost a 0% fraud rate. I don't hate Java like the rest of the world...anyway...on to my question lol
I have heard quite a few of our customers say that they are having a "Blocked Plug-In" today rather than the normal "Missing Plug-In" message. Has Apple blocked Java again or is it some wierd setting? This is the message our customers were receiving when Apple blocked it last time. However, our customers couldn't use Firefox either and this time they can. I haven't seen any news reporting it yet. It's imperative for our customers...I wish Apple would just leave it alone. If I purchase a $2500 computer, leave it alone and let me control it. Don't babysit me. This is why I will never ever ever buy a Mac. Not a fan of communism.

Every time I launch the browser the popup blocker option is unchecked. Why does the pop up blocker keep getting unchecked every time browser is launched?

Java 7 update 17 not working on Mac os x 10.7.5

Hi,
I am trying to get my Java working on my mac os x 10.7.5, but everything is saying that the plug-in is inactive, or java applets just continuously load. My java is enabled and up to date, as is my safari. I have read about all this stuff saying apple disabled java then renabled it without telling anyone. What exactly is going on and how can i get java to work?!?! I have tried fiddling with its settings, uninstalling, reinstalling, downloading chrome, etc etc and nothing seems to have any affect. Is there a way of reverting to some old software in either safari, java, or something to make this work as it used to until it decided to not one magical day?
Thanks in advance,
Jen

Hi Jen,
I am having the same issue, from what i am reading and understanding is apple and there in genius ideas decided to block Java because its apparently a security risk - a joke i know!
see i had my course materail for tafe all working then i decided to do the update that kept popping up since then it doesnt work, i installed java 7 update 17 on my old mac book pro and it works perfectly the only thing that is different between those 2 is safari my imac is running 6.0.3 and my macbook is still on the one before that..
i am still currently working on a way to enable this again unless apple relise that this was a completly stupid idea and come to there sens before i come up with away then ill keep you updated when i get it working
so for those who are reading this and havent updated yet my advise if you need java for online games or course materail or anything really DONT UPDATE
thanks
mel

Java 7 Update 11 Not Working with Firefox

For me, the problems described in the thread "Java 7 Update 10 Not Working with Firefox? " Java 7 Update 10 Not Working with Firefox?
are continuing with Java 7 Update 11.
Windows 7 64 bit
Firefox 18
The problem is that "Java(TM) Platform" is missing from the plug-in list.
I've uninstalled Java 7 Update 11 and reinstalled Java Update 9 which correctly installs the plugin and restores Java functionality which was broken immediately upon installing both Java 10 & 11.

So why not using Ju11 ? You can workaround the issue. It would sucks but still be safer than using Ju9.
Also ask Mozilla forums if Firefox has options where to search for plugins.
Or try 64-bit Firefox.As I explained in both threads ...

... neither jre7u10 nor jre7u11 are working ... and they are BOTH broken with the same problem ... "Java(TM) Platform" pliugin is missing from the plug-in list. It cannot be enabled, because it simply is NOT there. A suggestion was made the jre7u12 will be the "fix" for this issue ... so I installed the Update 12 Preview and it sis ALSO broken, no "Java(TM) Platform" in the plug-in list.
The ONLY Java version that actually works for me is jre7u9.
As far as installing Firefox 64bit ... I see no future in installing a browser that has been discontinued.

Even though Mozilla relented due to backlash, I continued development will be a somewhat low priority.

Java 7 Update 25 Client App Downloaded From Web Start Can't Connect Out

Since Java 7 update 25, I have an issue where my client Java application, downloaded with Java Web Start, can no longer connect to a remote server. (The client uses remote EJB to connect various servers). The issue I believe is that the client application is being blocked by security features of this Java update.
A very quick (random?) fix around the problem is to show the Java console. If the Java console is enabled to be shown, the client application can connect fine.
Although showing the Java console is a quick fix, it's not one we particularly want to keep asking customers to do. I understand we may need to define the Codebase and Permissions in the manifest file as described here: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/jweb/no_redeploy.html..
I have defined the Codebase and Permissions in the manifest of the client jar's we build ourselves. I believe this has worked as we no longer see "Missing Codebase manifest attribute for...." in the console for our own jar's. However, the application still cannot connect out. I'm stumbling around somewhat on this issue and trying various things in an attempt to get this to work. Assuming i'm on the right lines and the problem is some jars missing the Codebase and Permissions in their manifests, my question is, should I and how can I modify the manifest of 3rd party jars to include this information? For example, the client app requires many JBoss and EJB client jars - do I need to somehow modify the manifest of all of these jars to include the codebase and permissions?
It goes without saying that all the jars are signed - the application would not start at all if there was a problem here. So the application starts with it's login box - but it simply cannot connect out to the servers.
If anybody can offer any help on this issue i'd be most grateful. As a quick fix, is there a way to get this to work via adjusting Control Panel settings (other than showing the console)? I have played with a lot but not stumbled on a way to get this to work other than showing the console, although ideally i'd like to be able to get this to work without having to do any tweaks to clients Java control panel.

We're also seeing this. The 7u25 update completely derailed a trial program we were conducting, because no one could log in to our application via WebStart once they upgraded Java.
Our login code crashes because SwingUtilities.isEventDispatchThread() throws an NPE.
We tried theskad81's fix but it didn't work for us. We worked around the issue by hosting u21 on our site and pointing our WebStart page there instead of at Oracle's update site.

Java 7 update 17 not working on safari 6.0.3

i am running osx mountian lion and have just updated to safari 6.0.3 i need to get course work from tafe that is on skill soft this was working fine before i decided to update. since i updated i am not able to access the course material. i have read that apple have decided to block java - please tell me this isnt true, i need java i understand that its a risk but i need it back i am willing to put my self and the mac under that risk, i need to do this course work please help me i am streessing out everytime i think something works apple releases something and it stops.. eveything is really working against me
please help i need to enable java its an important component and alot of sites wont run without it.

Hi,
Any one that was having this issue will be happy to know that what you read on google is incorrect apple didnt block java at all they blocked the older versions to make people continue using the new versions
please install java 7 update 17 then go to the below link
http://java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp
it will say " inactive plugin" to begin with but if you click the text it will then work close safari and test the link again
it should then come up and say "your java is working and up to date"

Java 6 Update 29 - Can't Uninstall

Is there any particular reason why the new Java 6 Update 29 will NOT uninstall?
Running Windows XP Pro 32bit

I am having the same problem with update 29 and cannot get through the 800 number. This version has disabled my access to the US patent office system. They have posted a warning. I removed all older versions and tried to install the last version for their system which is update 26. I tried installing 26 but I get the error message that a later version is installed and will not continue. How can I remove the flag so that I can downgrade. You should always offer the ability to downgrade if it doesn't work.

Product: Java X Update X.. removal failed or error status 1602

Hi
Managing several different environments I repeatedly run into the same error on "to many" computers.
We use SCCM as our primary distribution tool and install Java using the embedded MSI and a custom made MST.
End user platform is: Windows XP and/or Windows 7
The installs works flawlessly in 95% of all cases but the remaining 5% are still a big hurdle to have to handle manually.
Problem:
Installing the newest version returns error code: 1602.
For a long time I have been ignoring it since it generally means that the end user has cancled the installation. But upon furter investigation I have found out that this is not the case.
On the individual computer the eventlog actually reports: Product: Java X Update X.. removal failed or error status 1602.
It is the uninstall of the previous version that fails.
Does anyone know what causes this and possible a solution?
Best Regards,
Christian

The same problem happened to me. When upgrading from JRE 1.5.0_5 to JRE 1.5.0_6, suddenly no applets would load, and all I could see was the little red X.
I tried to change proxysettings (I dont use a proxy, but it is told at http://www.java.com/en/download/help/redximage.xml that it is due to wrong proxy-settings). It didn't help.
I tried to turn off zonealarm. It didn't help.
I tried to clear the browsers cache. It didn't help.
I have been using both Firefox 1.5, and IE6. None would load the java-applets.
So I uninstalled all older JRE versions and installed JRE 1.4.1_02. It worked!
I then tried to upgrade to JRE 1.5.0. It didn't work.
Now I am back at JRE 1.4.1_02 without knowing why I had to downgrade through 6 versions that through the last year or so has been working fine on my machine.
I have no idea why it suddenly wouldnt work with the newer versions.
Any ideas?
