[UNRELATED - CTP] Some java plugin oddness

Post by danielnashnz »

It looks like Java v7 u09 fails at http://www.java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp with NoScript in Firefox 16.0.1 on Win7 until I _forbid_ java.com as a domain in the NoScript options (Java is forbidden in the 'Embeddings' tab, as usual)
??? seems very odd

(I'll just throw this out ... Perhaps there is some relation, or not, to what is mentioned in this thread, Java bug?)

I think its more likely its some interaction with this: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Opt-in_activation_for_plugins
I reverted to Java v6 u33 and same deal on FF16.0.1

I have to _forbid_ the whitelisted domain, or choose "Apply these erstrictions to whitelisted sites too" to get the NoScript icon, then after click-thru the applet works for my whitelisted domain.

Gah! /me slaps forehead
Okay re-reading the Mozilla page I hadn't clicked the new FF little blue plugin icon in the location bar to enable the plugin for the domain!
It's all working fine now, with Java 7 U9 on FF 16.0.1

Thanks for letting us know.
And I expect that you're not going to be the only one who will encounter issues with the recent addition of "Click-to-play", so no self-slaps, OK? :)
