This is new. Here's what gets deactivated after a while and can be reactivated. Even though I keep Java disabled up the wazoo, I've installed it, since it includes patches for new vulnerabilities, and never know when I may have to run an applet. Actually, just needed to the other day. And, yes, it includes the previous updates.
