As explained on this post in the Mozilla Security Blog, all versions of the Java plugin are vulnerable to a security bug that could compromise users’ systems. Because of this, all versions of the Java plugin will be blocked in Firefox 17 and above.
This is a click-to-play block, meaning that the plugin will be disabled by default, but you will be prompted if you visit a site that has a Java applet, giving you the option to enable it for that session, or always enable it for that site.
We recommend that you visit our plugin check page frequently, in case an update for the Java plugin becomes available soon.
