Firefox 12 and Java - no longer working?

I have 10.5.8 and I think I read that in the latest FF update, Java is disabled and with my version of software, no way to make it work anymore. Is this true? I have an onlime game that I think requires Java to play and I cannot access the game today and am wondering if that is the reason. I could play yesterday, but not today, it hangs when loading. It could be the game site itself, but I got to thinking about Java and did some research and saw that Java is only supported now in 10.6 and higher. If it is a java issue, is there any way to get it back and working with my system? I tried accessing it using Safari, same issue, hangs in same place.

Thank you.

mbp intel dual core, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

Hello. Java on 10.5.8 is a real risk, but just go backwards from these instructions if you really need it...


Disable Java in your Browser settings, not JavaScript.
