Is turning off java from browser enough? or should i remove it from my macbook? I have OS X 10.8.3

And if removing is better, how do i do that? am new to Mac's, just got this one two months ago, loving it so far.

As BD says, disabling it is enough.  
The people most likely to insist on using it are Banks so if your Bank asks for it it is best to have it readily available.   But don't forget to disable it again when you have finished.

  • Why is the Options/Content Turn off Java check missing. Java won't turn off

    You removed the Check box from the Options/Content menu to turn off Java, and turning it off under app's has no effect. Java stays on no matter what I do.

    removing useful features to force users to use third-party add-ons is not considered "as part of an effort to simplify the Firefox options " your complicating simple things and creating problems just of the sake of it .
    the content used to have 3 things, 2 options are gone , load images automatically and enable java script .
    the jave scirpt had three sub options that i used frequently
    now I'm forced to install firefox 22 ,it will solve the problem.

  • Phone works great but when on a call proximity sensor kicks in turns off the screen. When I pull the phone away from my head screen is still blank. The force hangup/lock is the only way to bring the screen back on

    hi,
    phone works great but when on a call proximity sensor kicks in turns off the screen. When I pull the phone away from my head screen is still blank. The force hangup/lock is the only way to bring the screen back on.
    I purchaged it before one month onl. So i wont understand how it comes. Please help me. I am waiting for you reply.

    "Your face is so ugly, it broke your phone!" Ha ha. Get it? How I was joking there? About your iPhone not working correctly after... <sigh>
    But seriously, you said the situation only happens when you have been on a long call, so maybe the iPhone is just autolockng?

  • On connecting kshuffle generation 4 to ma system i-tynes turn off sayin error...wat should i do?

    on connecting kshuffle generation 4 to ma system i-tynes turn off sayin error...wat should i do?

    Do you see this when you are performing the steps? In step 4, before you release the home button, do you see the Connect to iTunes screen? If you do, is iTunes running on your computer? If iTunes isn't running - launch it on your own.
    If you don't see the connect to iTunes screen, start all over again. But quit iTunes and restart your computer before you try again.
    Placing your device into recovery mode
    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
    Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    Note: If you see the screen pictured below, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
    If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
    Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.

    If you are in Hong Kong, go to Digital Trade, 1/F, Sincere Plaza, Argyle Street, and it will cost you 120-150HKD, but before you go check that your power button and home button are working correctly, if not press as hard as you can, hope this will help.

    so I have called HP tech support 12 times over the last 6 weeks and still my HP Officejet 4620 loses connection overnight. Of course becasue it was a birthday present I spent more time than I normally would have on this issue. While the tech are very polite they have not fixed my problem and now it is too late to return printer to store. This is a lot of money wasted and I think they need to admit this is a bug in this printer and resolve the problem!!!!!

  • How can I turn off Location-aware browsing?

    Got notice of upgrade. Downloaded 3.6.15 and installed. On your page describing new features, you prominently mention "Location-aware browsing," as well as the fact that I can turn this spyware off, but after looking through all the "Tools" area, I cannot find a way to turn it off. I am absolutely disgusted that Mozilla has been allowing people to spy on me all these many years I have been using your browsers clear back to Netscape. How can you get away with this without asking my permission? '''NOW TELL ME HOW TO TURN OFF THIS INSIDIOUS PIECE OF *!'''
    ''Edited for language - TonyE''

    People can not spy on you. Firefox only requests a location when a website makes a request, and only shares your location when you has approved the request. Firefox does not track or remember your location as you browse.
    It is an opt-in service, to turn disable it do the following:
    # Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
    # Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
    # Locate the preference '''geo.enabled''', double-click on it to change its value to '''false'''
    For more details on it see http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/geolocation/

    When I go to post on a google blog and it asks me to sign in, I get a message that says that my cookies fuctionality is turned off, but when I go to firefox, to preferences and privacy, "accept cookies from sites until they expire" is checked. I don't understand why I am getting this google message which is preventing me from posting, as it seems that the cookies functionality is properly turned on.

  • TS5185 i have turned off my Imessage but I still can't receive text from anyone using an Iphone

    Hi there.
    Had exactly the same issue, and i've sorted this out now. It IS Apple's responsibility to deactivate this function, and simply switching their imessage off on a handset will NOT work.
    Whatever apple did, they effectively released my number (read: t-mobile's number) from their messaging / OS framework's grip.
    Please read my explanation here:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/24488400#24488400
    You will need to contact apple support according to my solution.
    Whatever it was they did, and i can guarantee that they did SOMETHING to release my (t-mobile's) number from their ecosystem, even though they did not specify step two (whatever they did after instructing me to deactivate imessage on their handset - which i explained i had already done), it has now returned my SMS delivery and receipt status to normal, and i can send and receive to everyone and anyone in my Contact List.
