palemoon cancels Java

Unread post by Weather » 2016-06-08, 20:06

Current version of Palemoon doesn`t let me run Java It shows the next picture instead. Meanwhile, Firefox let me run that version of Java after a short notification about its old version. Palemoon forbade it at all. I think, that it is weakness of Palemoon.

That version of Java is well over a year old (Jan 21, 2015). Current version is Java 8 Update 91.

Is there a reason for using such an old version? Using older versions of Java is very much a security risk.

I'm surprised your computer isn't completely torn apart by malware.

Half-moon, please don't over-exaggerate. instead of tossing out a one-liner, maybe the user would be better helped with getting some pointers to updating their Java plugin? :)
