![]() It’s only one click and it doesn’t require a restart. You can enable and disable the plugin in the Add-ons Manager. 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. I read the stuff about blocklists and it seems ridiculously complicated – and unreliable, based on all those angry comments. It would help if in future versions of FF, you make it easy to enable and disable Java – the way we can in Safari. 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.įor the home machine, just make sure to check Software Update and install any pending updates. I’d recommend keeping it disabled and only enabling it when you need it, and only on sites you trust. Is my best bet to allow the 10.5… plugin block and await the Firefox 12? Will I notice a change in perfromance?ĭo I have any concerns for the 10.7.3 machine at home?įor the 10.5 machine it’s best that you disable the plugin unless you really need it. I am a simple user on OSX 10.5.8 in the office and 10.7.3 at home. ![]() Keep getting blocked plugins msge on my live streaming screen have downloaded flash player a couple of times no change ? please help thanx How do I add it to the add on list?ĭid you open the Plugins pane in the Add-ons Manager? That’s where the Java plugin should be listed. I went to the Add ons manager in Firefox and Java isn’t even listed. I have Java version 1.6 listed in my Java list under Utilities: Java. I’m running 10.5 and do not have Java working. The recommended upgrade path is that you move to Mac OS 10.6 or 10.7, if your hardware allows it. There will be no official Java update for 10.5, as far as we know. You should be able to activate the plugin again in the Firefox Add-ons Manager (about:addons). ![]() Well, how can update java plug-in manually in MAC OS 10.5.8 then? 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? Tags: blocklist, general, java, mac os x, security This is a soft block, meaning that they are free to continue using the plugin if they choose to, at their own risk. For these users there’s no point in waiting, so we have blocked the Java plugin for them. 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. 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. This means that even if someone updates Java on Mac, Firefox will continue to say an old and vulnerable version is installed. The other one is that there’s a bug in Firefox that prevents it from reloading plugin metadata after an update. One reason is that the Apple has already patched its Java software and the Software Update application is very effective doing its job. We haven’t followed up with the Mac OS X operating system for a couple of reasons. If -source is 1.3, the value of -target is 1.4įor all other values of -source, the value of -target is the value of -source.Two weeks ago we blocked vulnerable versions of the Java plugin on Windows and some Linux distributions.If -source is 1.2, the value of -target is 1.4.If -source is not specified, the value of -target is 1.6. ![]() The default for -target depends on the value of -source: Class files will run on the specified target and on later versions, but not on earlier versions of the VM. Generate class files that target a specified version of the VM. The compiler accepts code containing generics and other language features introduced in JDK 5. The following values for release are allowed: Specifies the version of source code accepted. Or you can do this with maven and the and ![]() In your case : javac -source 1.5 -target 1.5 You can compile against the 1.5 jdk with settings in javac. ![]()
