I see your question is already answered, but I'll add that there are |
| 8 |
a zillion open security bugs for java and many are actively being |
| 9 |
exploited in the wild recently. |

If you must use java in Firefox (as I do) then make sure that your |
| 12 |
version of Firefox is the latest one (19-something) because it will |
| 13 |
ask your permission before running any java applets. Firefox will |
| 14 |
allow you to override the warnings for selected websites so it won't |
| 15 |
become irritating at sites you trust. |

IIUC there are exploitable bugs in java7 that don't exist in java6, |
| 18 |
so I'm sticking to java6 for now, though 6 isn't perfect either. |
