[Jmol-users] Apple blocks java 6 applets on Snow Leopard
All of a sudden today I'm out of business developing Jmol applet-based web pages. And apparently so are all users of OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. Apparently Apple has blocked the use of java applets by blocking the current java version on Snow Leopard, 1.6.0_37. I didn't know they could do that! Applets are blocked in all browsers. When you load a page with Jmol applet, you see a small gray Inactive plug-in. When you click on that, it runs Apple Updates, which tells you that there are no updates -- you are up to date. The Jmol application still runs. http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2013/01/31/apple-blocks-java-on-macs-due-to-vulnerabilities/1880783/ Apparently there is a way to temporarily un-block applets, but evidently the security risk is high. And at least once a day your computer will be reset to block java. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4761112?tstart=0 Ouch! What is the experience on Lion and Mountain Lion? I can still run both java 6 and 7 applets in web browsers in Windows. Eric -- Everyone hates slow websites. So do we.

Re: [Jmol-users] Apple blocks java 6 applets on Snow Leopard
Dear Eric, Sorry to know that the Java problem started to affect also users from OSX older than 10.7 I'm running 10.7 and have several problems: Jmol applet from a server always requests authorization (it seems to forget preferences), and I'm having problems running Jmol applet on local web pages (exported Proteopedia).

This is because the Oracle fix did not fix the vulnerability. Does Firefox work? I have not tried.

As I said, java applets are blocked in all browsers. I've tested Safari, Firefox, and Chrome. My tests are in Snow Leopard only. Applets still work in Windows.

On this latter point, you can enable local web pages by the following procedure 1. Enable Developer mode in Safari (there are several utilities that can do this, I believe TinkerTool is one of them) 2. In developer menu, select Disable local file restrictions. -- Everyone hates slow websites. So do we.

In Windows, since a week or so when this Java danger started, Firefox blocks all applets but allows you to activate them by one click -- until next time a page is loaded, then you must do it again. -- Everyone hates slow websites.

Re: [Jmol-users] Apple blocks java 6 applets on Snow Leopard
I dumped Java 7 several weeks ago and went back to an older version which i have been using judiciously ---enable/disable. Now on 1/31 neither Firefox nor Safari display anything using OSX 10.8.2.
