I have just tested it in several different browsers. All of them asked for user confirmation to run the applet, although sometimes with a different UI -- SM opened a popup, SRWare Iron gave me one of those yellow bars on top. Opera and IE gave me a popup IDENTICAL to the one from Seamonkey. It seems to me that the request for confirmation (and the popup, if it's not being hidden by Chromium/Iron) is coming from Java itself, not the browser. I didn't follow all the technical bulletins, but it would make sense for Oracle to tighten up the security model after the recent high-profile security problems. So, now Java requires manual confirmation in situations where in the past it would run the applet raising no questions. From the Pogo news bulletin that the OP linked to, the solution seems to be for the website to renew/upgrade the Java digital certificates -- an applet digitally signed according to the new rules will run without popups. -- MCBastos This message has been protected with the 2ROT13 algorithm.
