Why was it blocked?
Old versions of the Java plugin are potentially insecure and
unstable. All users are strongly recommended to update on our plugin
check page.
Who is affected?
All users who have these versions of the plugin installed in
Firefox.
What does this mean?
The problematic add-on or plugin will be automatically disabled
and
no longer usable.
When Mozilla becomes aware of add-ons, plugins, or other
third-party software that seriously compromises SeaMonkey security,
stability, or performance and meets certain criteria, the software may
be blocked from general use. For more information, please read this
support article.

Crash Signature:
V.7 update 15 is working for me on one site, but not on another (running
SM 2.15.2, Win7). Recently it was working everywhere. And before that
the same spotty results as today with the same sites working and not
working.
Frankly, using java in SeaMonkey has become an exercise in masochism,
and I've stopped trying.
On Pogo.com Some Games that use Java Work fine, Then other games that is
use Java tells me I need to install JAVA .
In seamonkey Ad on manager it Tells Me that Java 7 u 15 IS KNOWN TO
BE VULnurable .. But it is not Disabled ..
In java Consul Mozilla will not Stay Checked .
Same thing here: SM2.16, Java v7u15: At Pogo game site, Java-based games
say that Java isn't installed, and SM Add-On Mgr shows Java warning
about 'MAY BE VULNERABLE', but does not indicate an absolute block.
There's a functino called a Blocklist running in the background in SM.
The programmers write a listing of versions of assorted 3rd-party
software (Java, Adobe Flash, whatever) that have known issues, either
with security and/or SM stability, so that Blocklist listing doc
contains settings to block SM's use of those applications. A new
Blocklist file is downloaded automatically on a regular basis, assuming
SM is open, so when apps change, the list can be changed and passed on
without you having to remember to go looking. You can bypass that if
you want, BUT YOU ACCEPT THE CONSEQUENCES IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG.
In the Browser, type 'about:config' in the address bar. A listing of
all the settings will appear in the browser window. In the search bar,
type 'bocklist', and the list will shorten to include only those
perferences which have that name in them. The one you want is
'extensions.blocklist.enabled'. The value can only be True of False.
When it's True, the blocklist stops things. To change from True to
False, simply double-click the preference name. The value will change
to False, and the entire line will go to BOLD text, to show that it's
not at its default value. Your Pogo games should all work now. THIS
OPENS YOU UP TO ANY OTHER SITE USING JAVA IN A MALICIOUS MANNER,
regardless of Pogo's use of Java.
My wife has not used her computer this week.. So this explains why
Java works on hers this morning..on pogo
Block list has not been updated more in likely.
Both computers are identical...
But her JAVA is 7u10
Mine is 7u15
I told her not to update her Java .
Reading the bugzilla. We are being Blocked Because FACEBOOK got hacked..
Could be FACEBOOK does not have Java Configured Correctly . So Ever
other WEBSITE that uses JAVA has to Suffer Because The Almighty
FACEBOOK's Security is not Enabled correctly .
Let Facebook take care of itself .
