| 1322353 | 2013-01-12 09:38:00 | The questions should be - why is it that its only being brought up now, and people are being warned. Most of the security companies as well as Oracle have known about since it was discovered last year August 22nd ? Why haven't Oracle patched it yet ? Yea, wondered why it was reported now. Figured a reporter had a few column cm's to fill in a hurry so did an Internet copy/paste! |

| 1322358 | 2013-01-13 05:11:00 | Disable Java in all your browsers, if it's not already :) Firefox 17 onwards has click-to-play for plugins, but I'm not sure if it means you're safe from such vulnerabilities. Java is not Javascript. No need to disable it, in fact you have to go into Control Panel to disable Java |

I said disable Java, and it can be done in the browser - no need to disable it for the whole system since some apps may need it. Click on the Firefox menu (top-left), go to Add-Ons, click Plugins and find the Java(TM) Platform SE etc plugin - click Disable. Done. |

| 1322360 | 2013-01-13 21:15:00 | Looks like Mozilla has enabled "click-to-play" for the last few iterations of the java plugin: blog.mozilla.org |

| 1322361 | 2013-01-13 22:09:00 | And it looks like FF disables it even if its installed. Well it did here, so I uninstalled it. Since under addons / plugins it said the version is vulnerable. If its 7 update 10 | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1322362 | 2013-01-13 22:11:00 | So, Java is not only a piece of lagware it's also now full of holes? Lovely. | Agent_24 (57) | ||
