I have reported this big issue forme in the developper forum last week.
All java version, even recent ones, ALL are considered, (not like flash...) as a "permanent unsecure virus" by Firefox.
- How can the Mozilla team can think they can get away with this ?
This behavior is all but neutral from firefox!
- So I have to drop my software that I programmed in 7 years ?
I went 4 days ago in the developper forum to discuss about this :
---------------------------------
Me: "A red no entry sign" is too radical for recent java player I think.
My users give me a phone call to tell me "No way I will accept to install your software with this red warning"... Even the people who know me, tell me they got so scared they have really hesitated to accept java. Now I do understand at a time when java had urgent security issue this scary red-message was necessary. But I really wish that Firefox checks the java version installed ... and give a less-scary-warning-sign or a "go !" if the user has a recent java version (like the latest on java 1.7 update 30).
Benjamin Smedberg (chef of this idiot change): "We fundamentally disagree about the risks of the Java plugin. We believe the Java plugin is unsafe, and we want to present that to our users".
-- Is there a boss at Mozilla ? someone who cares about developpers.
And yea Benjamin, you know, java is open source by the way.
Fuck you idiot !

- etimberg 13y agoIt's a copy of one of the comments on the link. It should have been in quotes at a minimum.
- Yoric 13y agoNo, it's the same guy. I did tech support for him on my free time because, hey, that's what the Mozilla community does. I helped him track the rookie mistake he made when coding his professional website. Somehow, as a thank you, he decided to insult us. sigh
