I have the Firefox version 18 now...
Well, Java was SUPPOSED to be disabled in this latest Firefox Update by default?....
Can I just mention its worth checking that it is disabled by hand, 'cos on my machine I still had one part running....
You are looking for Java Deployment Toolkit under several different version numbers, make sure all of them are turned off....
For the Moment....
Now on to news feeds from various sources....
Despite "Its all good now" from SOME sources that say Java has been patched and if you download the latest version it contains a patch" from certain places, other reputable sources are stating that there is still vulnerabilities in Java....
As of yet, I am not fully aware of all the facts.
Is this reported patch either a myth 'cos they aint done anything yet, a sticky-plaster whilst they work out a full patch, or a full update?....
Various sources are reporting different things, so until I get a fully confirmed "Its fixed" from a reputable source that is conformed by other reputable sources, or a statement from Java people themselves stating a full fix, my advice as of this time is dont trust hear-say, dont use Java at the moment.
Please also note this advice could have been invalidated as soon as you read it, 'cos I just bet the buggers release a patch whilst I was writing this?.. sods law rules apply.....
If anyone gets that conformation before I do, please feel free to post it?.. I have things to do for the rest of the day.....
