You were able to disable java in your browser with one click also before ...in my opinion, this move from FF is a very bad one.

Now what we should use if we need more then HTML5? A) -> Silverlight ...FF promote a closed technology against the somehow open Java?? B) -> Flash ...which is on a downhill now? C) -> Java ...users need to be IT experts to enable it

One thing I would like to see: MS should ban FF because it is insecure :)

Change is to disable java by default. User can enable it for one page but can't enable it globally for every page. I like that because it close to things like flashblock.

Any follow-up on that? FF is, to my belief at least, one of the more secure browsers.
