Latest Java plugin vulnerablity

Hello,
I have a quick question, I am unable to find on Suns website
whether it is necessary to remove all old versions of Java (so SDK / JRE
1.4.2_06 and earlier & SDK / JRE 1.3.1_13 and earlier) OR is it okay to
just apply the latest Java plugin versions and not worry about what is
previously installed?
Thanks,
Suds

If you don't need the old versions, the better course of action is to remove them, just like any other program that you don't use.
If you need to keep the old versions and understand how to configure and manage multiple JDKs and JVMs, the current versions will co-exist fine.

Has anyone had issues with the latest JAVA plugin 10.67.2.1?

I recently was having constant lockups and unresponsiveness after exiting FF and would have to reboot
my system to get things working again. I disabled the JAVA plugin and now the system is working fine and no more unresponsiveness when closing FF.

Here is the link to verify your version and to update to latest :

Why is Safari blocking the latest Java plugin?

Today, I fired up Safari to access my work server but the required Java applet wouldn't run. Safari displayed "Blocked Plugin" and clicking it said my Java was out of date and/or a security risk. I upgraded to the most recent Java (7.10, I believe) and restarted everything, but Safari still blocks the plugin. Firefox does not and confirms it's installed correctly and works.
There's no higher version of Java or my Safari (6.0.2). What is going on and how can I resolve it?
Thanks!

I too am having this problem, and have tried every conceivable workaround. Firefox is not an option, as it seems that the Juniper SSL-VPN product won't fire up the ncproxyd or pass the "host check" with Firefox 18 and Java7 -- so whilst other Java sites work, the VPN I need to use won't come up.
I've tried removing everything, reboot, checking permissions -- even ran Instruments in the Developer tool to figure out how Safari makes the determination if something is out of date or not.
There is a major Java security hole out at the moment, in the latest version, so the only thing I can think of is that perhaps Apple fired a "kill everything" command that is telling all Safari versions that no version of Java is safe.

After downloadeding the latest Java plugin, I start to receive "Please configure your browser to allow Java applets to access the filesystem" message when I try to run a download wizard. What do I need to do? BTW, IE does not have this problem.

I had no problem using a download wizard Java applet to download file to my computer from an SFTP site using Firefox. When I tried to do the same thing with Chrome, I was told to download the latest plugin. Once I did that, I receive the following message when I run the downlaod wizard:
The Java Wizard cannot run.
Please configure your browser to allow Java applets to access the filesystem.
I got the same message using Firefox and Chrome. However, I have no problem using IE to run the same download wizzard. Please help.

If the problem is with a site that is hosted using MOVEit DMZ by Ipswitch, please notify the site owner of the issue and ask them to apply the patch that is available on the support site to resolve the issue.
This is a better resolution than downgrading your version of Java that was updated due to security issues.

I am running 10.5.8, and just updated my java to java 5 update10. Now my firefox is missing the Java plugin, and I can't load any Java applet at all. When I try it with Safari, it hangs when certain Java applet loads. HELP!!!

Suddenly my Java plugin is missing and i can't load any Java with Firefox at all, even though i have it enabled in the browser! i've tried loading in java embedding plugin, but it doesn't work. what should i do???

It's not in Tools> Add-ons >plugins? Should be Java Plug-in 2 for NPAPI browsers 13.5.0. What are you seeing there? I don't think it's called the embedding plugin any longer.
Might try getting the Firefox 5 standalone application. Trash the current one and replace it. Doing this won't affect your Profile or any settings.
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
If it's enabled, how can it be missing?
If this doesn't work, ask here. No need to register. Make sure you put (Mac) in the title.

EDIT. Oops, may be different for 10.5.8. Was thinking recent Java update for 10.6. But try installing a new app anyway. In the past, this got me the latest Java plugin.

JApplet = ppl must download java plugin to see

simple question
so if i make applets using javax.swing.JApplet instead of java.awt.Applet, people must download the latest java plugin?

Yep. But so what? No different than downloading any other plugin. And, you won't be stuck with that god awful MS java engine.

Weird Exception reported by Java Plugin

Hi all,
I am working on pure swing based applet project. We are using the latest Java plugin - Java(TM) Plug-in: Version 1.4.1_01.
Everything seems to work fine, but, frequently the following exception is reported in the Plugin console. Although it has not noticeably affected my project, I wonder what is happening and why it is reported. If anyone can throw some light, I will be glad to hear.
This exception occurs on both Windows 98 and Windows 2000 professional systems.
Regards,
Naveen.

I am using oracle Apps ERP in firefox wherein there is a Java Plugin , This is working fine in 3.5 version but as soon as i am upgrading to the latest version oracle is not working and firefox crashes. I can't upgrade even though i wish to

We are using Oracle ERP in our company which is a web based ERP system. I am using firefox to work in ERP for convinieince pf working and using internet at the same time. This requires a plugin provided by oracle oajinit.exe to be installed in Plugins it is a JAVA plugin which opens the ERP Screens. This works fine in versions prior to 3.6 version of firefox. However, after upgrading to 3.6 version the forms do not open and firefox crashes. Due to this i am not able to upgrade to the latest version else i'll have to operate the ERP in internet explorer and using firefox for browsing which i do not want. The plugin used for the ERP is "* JInitiator 1.3.1.18 for Netscape Navigator (DLL Helper)"

Firefox 3.6 needs the Java Second Generation Plugin which comes with newer versions than 1.6.0_03 - update Java, the latest version is 1.6.0_22

Java plugin missing in browsers even after installing latest update

i am unable to download youtube videos online. any browser i use, throw a error message saying Java plugin is not installed. i click on the link and download and install the latest version of Java. I own a iMac 2011 intel and running all updated OS and browsers and plugins., still unable to do anything. Any suggestions ??

Clicktoflash makes getting youtube videos quite easy... & avoids the need for any sites that require java.

How do I fix my Java plugin?

In my Firefox browser, I have two potentially vulnerable plugins: "Java Deployment Toolkit 7.0.400.43" and "Java Platform SE 7 U40." I uninstalled Java Platform (I believe it was 6.0), so I'm not sure why it is showing as a plugin. Anyway, in my attempt to uninstall the Java 7 Update, I get an error message that says "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable." I'm prompted to "Click Ok to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package "jre.1.7.0_21-c.msi" in the box below.
It appears that a folder within my c drive is missing. I don't understand it as this is a file that I do not mess with. Apparently, it is the subfolders within the c drive; specifically, the appsdata subfolder was hidden! Even after I unhid it, I'm still missing the local subfolder which is where Java normally would go. Java is instead located on a local low subfolder, but I can't uninstall this because this path (Local low) is not recognized). Any help is much appreciated!!
I am not a computer geek, so can you please provide the answer in as simple a manner as possible? Thank you in advance for your time and efforts.

The first thing you should do is to '''uninstall''' older versions of Java. <br />

Then see this support article. <br />

Java Version 7 Update 45 is the latest version <br />

Java plugin for Firefox and Chromium just not working

Hi Arch Users
I have been suffering with the IcedTea-Web for a while now. My banking service (in their stroke of genius) use java on there online service. So a problamatic plugin means that I am not able to use the website while on Linux.
The issue is not specific to the bank's website. Doing the following is also problematic:
1. Go to www.java.com
2. Click on "Do I have Java?"
3. Click on Verify Java Version
4. Chromium does nothing after setp 3, Firefox has a small notification (bottom corner) saying Applet Started but nothign really happens (waited for 20min).
Searching the Forums, showed people with similar problems with an older plugin. An idea I did get was to use the latest branch and compile it. So I changed the PKGBUILD to download the latest using:
hg clone http://icedtea.classpath.org/hg/icedtea-web
./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=${_jvmdir} \
--datarootdir=/usr/share \
--with-jdk-home=${_jvmdir} \
--with-firefox=/usr/bin/firefox \
--with-chromium=/usr/bin/chromium
So currentely my FireFox reports the IcedTeaWeb as: IcedTea-Web Plugin (using IcedTea-Web 1.4pre+r6e622e87010e). Unfortunately the issue remains.
Please can anyone suggest me a way to overcome this issue. Currentely I have to use VirtualBox to run a browser in Windows (very very painful)!
A while back I did contact the bank, informing them of the issue was met with a simple "We dont support Linux".
Cheers!
J

Before the repository switched to the open java project and I used Sun/Oracle version, everything worked OK.

Java plugin is not working properly

I have FF 16.0.1 and Java plugin 7 u 9, this is not the java with security problems...
http://web.psjaisd.us/auston.cron/ABCronPortal/GeoGebraMenu/Investigating%20Parent%20FunctionsUsing%20GeoGebraGeoGebra%20is%20graphing.htm
loads very slowly or not at all, including the majority of the links on the page...this is a menu to multiple Java applets in GeoGebra. This page has a preload link which causes a problem. All links are java applets which until your security issues on Java were implements worked flawlessly and better than any other browser service...
You are forcing me to us IE, which I despise!
I cannot copy from crashing page...

So, you are having problems with Java 7 update 9 in Firefox? You said "until your security issues on Java were implements worked flawlessly and better than any other browser service..." I don't know what you mean. Java security updates are from java.com (Oracle) not Mozilla.
In case it helps, I downgraded from Java 7 to Java 6 awhile back for security reasons and I'm now running [http://java.com/en/download/manual_v6.jsp Java 6 Update 37], which is the latest Java 6 and has all current security patches. (I'll eventually switch back to Java 7 once Java 6 is no longer supported). Except for a few of the links loading slowly, I don't see any issues on the page you mentioned. Hopefully someone with Java 7 u9 will be along and test the links but you could try uninstalling Java 7 and installing Java 6. More on Java here:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Java
*[[Use the Java plugin to view interactive content on websites]]
You also said, "I cannot copy from crashing page". Is Firefox crashing? Do you have any recent crash reports?
#Enter about:crashes in the Firefox location bar (that's where you enter your website names) and press Enter. You should now see a list of submitted crash reports.
#Copy the most recent 5 report IDs that you see in the crash report window and paste them into your forum response.
More information and further troubleshooting steps can be found in the [[Firefox crashes]] article.
Also, Firefox 16.0 is not the current version and is insecure. See http://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox.html
Unless you have reasons for using an older version despite the vulnerabilities, you should [[update Firefox to the latest version]], currently 17.0.1.

Why can't I run the latest Java on Firefox to operate my network camera? It does not find Java. Please Help!!

I just installed a network camera in my home correctly and signed in to view what was on the camera. But after logging in , info comes up with" cannot find Java" with an install button. I have the latest update of Java and the Firefox browser. There is no red block in the search bar that asks me to allow the site to use Java nor does it ask me to allow the site. I did uncheck the box in the control panel as it tells me to do in Java so that it asks me to use Java. Nothing works. I am so tired of installing and uninstalling, clearing my cache. Opening and closing my browser and reading info to fix this. I just want to be able to view what my camera films. Nothing on the firefox site answers or solves my problem. And believe me I've tried til my head is spinning. Someone has to have an answer. I need a vacation after this...Lol...
Thanks...

The Java plugin doesn't show in the System Details List.
Is 32 bit Java installed on your computer?
You can find the latest Java version on the Oracle website.<br />
See Java Platform > Java SE 7U45 (JRE Download)
*http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
You need the 32 bit JRE for Firefox.

I'm having 10.8.3 and today 17-Apr I had installed latest java 7 update. Now when ever I test java page it just redirects the page to Java download on both Firefox and safari. I tried deleting the cache from Java Sec Panel - temp ile but still same proble

I'm having 10.8.3 and today 18-Apr Thursday I had installed latest java 7 update. Now when ever I test java page it just redirects the page to Java download on both Firefox and safari. I tried deleting the cache from Java Sec Panel - temp ile but still same prob.

Make sure that the plugin is not automatically disabled in Firefox:

I have a program that requires a Java plugin version 1.6.0_17 can you tell me where to find it?

I need this particular version, but have no clue how or where to find it. I am operating under Windows 7 currently. Can someone point me in the right direction?? Thanks in advance1

You can download Java Plugin Version 1.6.0_17 (as well as many other versions old and new) by visiting 'File Hippo' at this link:
[[http://preview.tinyurl.com/btg95oh|Java Oracle Plugins]]
Please keep in mind however that the Firefox Java Plugin has blocked JRE versions below 1.6.0_31 or between 1.7.0 and 1.7.0_2. As of April 2012 some Firefox versions automatically block all Java plugins which are Java versions less than 1.6.0_31, therefore every user that has a problem and is running with a Demantra that supports Java higher than 1.6.0_19 can upgrade their Java plugin to 1.6.1_31. Demantra 7.3.0.2 and all versions of 7.3.1 support it.
Anyone who has a problem while running on an older Demantra version that does not support Java versions newer than 1.6.0_19 cannot use Firefox with Demantra. Instead they can either use Windows Internet Explorer (IE) without a Java upgrade or they can upgrade their Demantra.
If they upgrade to the latest Java version then the Demantra plugin will not work - not with Firefox and not with IE.
If you still need additional help, you can find it at [[My Oracle Support.|My Oracle Support]] Oracle's one-stop online technical support portal offers a wealth of resources for customers.
'''How to enable Java if it's been blocked'''
In order to protect you, Firefox has stopped some versions of the Java plugin from running automatically because of security issues. However, you can still use Java on trusted sites if necessary.
