It's possible that -- beyond the default "click-to-run" imposed by the block list -- you have your Java plugin manually set to "disabled" in the Add-Ons Manager. Why it got that way, I have no idea. But do check that. I saw a computer like that a few days ago -- after manually enabling the Java plugin, the click-to-run behavior started to work as designed. It's possible that you may have to disable, then re-enable Java. I don't remember what I did exactly to fix it. -- MCBastos This message has been protected with the 2ROT13 algorithm.
