That is due to this: <https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-security-announce/2011-December/001528.html> [Important notice regarding Java packages in Partner archive] Basically, Sun Java was dropped due to licensing and security issues. My version is deliberately installed: $ java -version java version "1.7.0_04" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_04-b20) and Oracle have addressed (for the time being) the security issues in jre1.7 with update 04. Also jre1.7 has completely replaced jre1.6 & the only way to get jre1.6u32 now (as far as I know) is to download from the technetwork page: <http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html> <http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre-6u32-downloads-1594646.html> > > There is no plug-in shown for Java in SM 2.9.1, but of course the file > is still on the system. > > At this point I still have 2.7.2 installed on an old system, but I would > like to get the Java support back on my main system with 2.9.1 here. Older versions were also blocked in Mozilla, See: <https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2012/04/02/blocking-java/> [Blocklisting Older Versions of Java] (read comments) <https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/seamonkey/blocked/p85> [Java Plugin has been blocked for your protection.] <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=739955> [[Windows] Blocklist vulnerable jre versions pre update 31 due to security issue] > How do I need to accomplish this?

You can turn it back on via about:config: <http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Firefox%20makes%20unrequested%20connections#w_extension-blocklist-updating> However, be aware that setting 'extensions.blocklist.enabled' to false with disable _all_ blocklist checks. In your case it's probably better to modify the blocklist.xml file to remove any references to p80 & p85. Or just replace it with the blocklist.xml from the current version of Firefox. ... _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
