Certain Web sites that I have visited for quite a few years use Java.
Now, whenever I visit any those sites for the first time after a fresh
launching of SeaMonkey, I get a dialogue popup that says:
Do you want to run this application?
An unsigned application from the location below is requesting to run.
etc, etc, etc
[checkbox] I accept this risk and want to run this app.
If I decline, I can get the following Java Console log:
Java Plug-in 10.40.2.43
Using JRE version 1.7.0_40-b43 Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM

To understand what's going on:
CTRL-SHIFT-A or Tools | Add-ons Manager
On the Plugins tab, you'll see:
(!) Java Deployment Toolkit 7.0.400.43 is known to be vulnerable. Use
with caution. More information...
The button at right offers the options Ask to Activate/Never Activate.
If you don't want to be asked, choose the second option and it will
never run and never ask.
The "More information" link takes you here:
<https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/seamonkey/blocked/p428>
with links to additional explanations.
AFAIK you can't just whitelist an app on the blocklist; you can only
approve on a case-by-case basis. This is for your protection.
As for Java itself, you can choose "Always activate" and be done with it
because it's not on the blocklist.
