Two weeks ago we on Windows and some Linux distributions. We haven’t followed up with the Mac OS X operating system for a couple of reasons. One reason is that the Apple has already patched its Java software and the Software Update application is very effective doing its job. The other one is that there’s a in Firefox that prevents it from reloading plugin metadata after an update. This means that even if someone updates Java on Mac, Firefox will continue to say an old and vulnerable version is installed.

This bug will be fixed in Firefox 12 and we will complete the block on Mac OS X after it is released on April 24th. However, people who are using Mac OS X 10.5 and older won’t get the Java update, which means they will remain vulnerable unless they update their operating system or upgrade their hardware. For these users there’s no point in waiting, so we have blocked the Java plugin for them. This is a soft block, meaning that they are free to continue using the plugin if they choose to, at their own risk.

There is no automatic update available in Software Update And Firefox has just disabled my java version “1.6.0_26” plug in, and I can’t use it now Can someone please point where can we download a java plug in update for MAC OS 10.5.8??? • Jorge Villalobos wrote on: You should be able to activate the plugin again in the Firefox Add-ons Manager (about:addons).

There will be no official Java update for 10.5, as far as we know. The recommended upgrade path is that you move to Mac OS 10.6 or 10.7, if your hardware allows it. • Cathy Dixson wrote on: I’m running 10.5 and do not have Java working. I have Java version 1.6 listed in my Java list under Utilities: Java. I went to the Add ons manager in Firefox and Java isn’t even listed. How do I add it to the add on list? • Jorge Villalobos wrote on: Did you open the Plugins pane in the Add-ons Manager?

That’s where the Java plugin should be listed. • beverley wrote on: keep getting blocked plugins msge on my live streaming screen have downloaded flash player a couple of times no change???

Will I notice a change in perfromance? Do I have any concerns for the 10.7.3 machine at home?

John • Jorge Villalobos wrote on: For the 10.5 machine it’s best that you disable the plugin unless you really need it. I’d recommend keeping it disabled and only enabling it when you need it, and only on sites you trust. Nothing will change for this case when Firefox 12 is out, the only easy way to upgrade your Java software is to also update to Mac OS X 10.6 or 10.7. For the home machine, just make sure to check Software Update and install any pending updates. You should be fine if you’re up to date.

• Cathy wrote on: It would help if in future versions of FF, you make it easy to enable and disable Java – the way we can in Safari. I read the stuff about blocklists and it seems ridiculously complicated – and unreliable, based on all those angry comments. I’ll stick with my unsafe version of Java for now – I have other ways of protecting myself from the ONE trojan that’s currently a problem. • Jorge Villalobos wrote on: You can enable and disable the plugin in the Add-ons Manager. It’s only one click and it doesn’t require a restart.
