I wonder... I visit <http://myspeed.visualware.com/index.php> where I need both flash an java. I find that I have to turn on both individually to get the speed test to work correctly: flash to select the region, and java to perform the speed test. If I bypass the flash requirement: <http://myspeed.visualware.com/servers/namerica/iad.php?testtype=-2&codebase=mcssjc.visualware.com&location=USA:> Then all I need to do is turn on Java to work. And yes, I did test using Windows: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:18.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/18.0 SeaMonkey/2.15.1 Java(TM) Platform SE 7 U13 File: npjp2.dll Version: 10.13.2.20 That said, I'd still turn on Java *only* if it is absolutely necessary & then *turn it off* when no longer necessary. <http://thenextweb.com/apps/2013/02/01/oracle-pushes-java-7-update-13-out-early-after-one-of-50-vulnerabilities-addressed-is-exploited-in-the-wild/> [Oracle pushes Java 7 Update 13 out early, after one of 50 vulnerabilities addressed is exploited in the wild] <quote> Oracle says 44 of 50 vulnerabilities only affect Java in Internet browsers.
