Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I dowloaded a Java new version (7.10) and now I cannot run Java applets any more.
Because of that I cannot use Internet Banking of my Bank in Brazil because it uses a security module based on Java applets.
Does anybody know how to run applets in this new Java version?
My version of Mac OS is 10.8.2
MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
Hmm, yup, that should be blocking Java in the web browser for you. Something about your setup must be bypassing that. I'm not enough of a Java expert to know what that might be, though.
Well, somebody in Brazil gave me a "work around": to use Firefox instead of Safari.
With Firefox I could run the Internet Banking security module so now I can use the Internet Banking.
But we had an interesting discussion and I would like to know what will happen to the combination "Java and Safari" because Safari is my prefered browser.
Thanks everybody!
I believe Oracle released an update this morning (or late last night). Get the update and you should be good to go.
Forget workarounds of other types; unless you don't value your privacy and security.
You are right. I downloaded the new JAVA version (7.11) and now Internet Banking is working in Safari.
Thanks a lot!
Worked for me too. Thanks!
So to be clear, it blocks the java browser plug-in for ALL browsers, or just the built-in Safari and anything that might use it?
In my understand it blocked only for Safari because when I used Firefox the security module worked well.
In fact, I also tested with Chrome and it didn't work with Chrome.
So with Java 7.10 it doesn't work with Safari and Chrome and it does work with Firefox.
With Java 7.11 it works in both, Safari and Firefox.
My Internet banking has been working for quite some time now ... AFTER I filed the bug report. They took the steps to rectify it.

Then I would label Firefox as a severe security risk. Every security analyst worth their salt recommended disabling Java until the vulnerability was patched. Safari abd Chrome did it automatically with a backdoor security update. Firefox did not. I suppose you had to manually disable it.
