Now the really interesting part for me is I use Firefox with the fully up to date version - and Firefox has disabled it by itself
Quote A new Java zero-day security vulnerability is already being actively exploited to compromise PCs. The best way to defend against the attacks is to disable any Java browser plugins on your systems.
The offending bug is present in fully patched and up-to-date installations of the Java platform, now overseen by database giant Oracle, according to Jaime Blasco, head of labs at security tools firm AlienVault.

So once disabled it stays disabled for ever unless a new version is installed by a third party and then both versions seem to be there

Quote from: jelv I think you need to go through the total removal of Java procedure and start again.
Did you do a full Java uninstall first? http://www.java.com/en/download/uninstall.jsp

The most difficult needed a dll delete having found the source using about:plugins but the worst was a blocked uplay plugin which was really well hidden (it was in the ubisoft directory and wasn't listed in the about:addons list)

At any given moment in the universe many things happen. Coincidence is a matter of how close these events are in space, time and relationship.
Opinions expressed in forum posts are those of the poster, others may have different views.

I use the following website quite a lot......
http://www.ship-tracking.co.uk/Main%20Menu/
click on SOLENT in the first box ( AIS MAPS )..... and the solent and I.o.W map appears, then the ships positions appear, then the map disappears.....
I reported it to the web owner, who advised me to disable the Jave cache.... and it cured the problem..... that was this morning.....
been off out all day, and just tried it again.... and the map disappears... so it looks like Firefox has done the deed again, and disabled Java.....
Reported to the website owner, just now, with a linky to this thread....

The background map disappears for me..... Website owner also uses FF, he said it reported Java shut down... but he still sees the map as a background to the ship positions as normal....

The map works fine regardless of Java. I think the only problem was it once scrolled itself to the bottom of the page, where there is a big empty space, but I could not repeat that.
