    Java 7 update 45 blocked in firefox

    I have recently installed Java 7 update 45 in my operating system and it works fine in Google Chrome browser. But if I launch firefox 24 version then it gives me an error message saying that the Java plugin has known vulnerabilities. Can anyone tell me if there is any solution to fix this problem so that it doesnt get block by firefox? Thanks

    It seems that from now on all the versions of the Java plugin will be considered as vulnerable in firefox and it will get blocked by default in the same browser. Many are accusing Oracle's bad security in the past that they have done like not fixing the vulnerabilities for months or so. Hence you are better off running other browsers if you want.

    If adobe is comapared similarly to java then atleast they have their good reputation for fixing their security holes. You might have heard about too many major exploits in all versions of java that are reported from a year ago and it is not still yet fixed by the Oracle company. Java is now a days done easier in Html5, Flash and Javascript.

    You can try to install the Click-to-Play Manager 1.3 extension and it will be able to fix the issue. This extension was recently updated and it works with the blocked plugins in firefox browser. You can also try to get this extension to work in SeaMonkey. Also check the option to re-enable the plugin is shown if the toolbar for the address is shown.
