I, too, have had Java turned off in Netscape for quite a while for the
same reasons. But on the rare occasions I *want* to view a java applet
it is inconvenient to turn it on temporarily thru "Preferences..." and
remember to shut it off...
So I just created a hack that let's me easily view Java applets w/o
using Netscapes buggy & insecure JVM! When I get to a page with some
java applet I want to run, I highlight the URL and then press a wm
hot-key to launch the JDK's "appletviewer" on the X-selection.
This way I now almost never have to have Netscape load its buggy JVM,
I can select which java applets run (default being to not run them),
and when I exit the appletviewer the memory is reclaimed.
Now how long before I hit a page where this scheme doesn't work.... :-)
