I have an iMAc and use iOS X Lion 10.7.5
I have a with (Java) plugins being blocked (in Safari and also in Firefox). When trying to test if Java is up to date by using the official test www.java.com/nl/download/testjava.jsp I already get the message that the plugin is blocked?
The preferences in my Safari-browser are set to allow plugins and Java... what can I do to solve this please?
iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.5)
The newly discovered zero-day flaw in Java 7 is so serious that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has warned users to disable or uninstall it, and Apple has disabled the Java 7 plugin on Macs through its OS X anti-malware system, in order to protect users from a potentially serious security issue.
You should disable Java (if not already done) until either the US Department of Homeland Security, or Oracle, declare it safe and Apple restore the facility. Javascript should not be disabled (it has nothing to do with Java).
However, if you need the Jave 6 JRE and plug-in, MadMAC0 has posted at
Apple has also posted (Oct 22/12) the approved solution for restoring the Java 6 plug-in:

HI,
thanks for this information. I read the discussion and implemented Apple's approved solution for restoring the Java 6 plug-in. Unfortunately this doesn't help: when trying to upload photgraps on this http://prints.profotonet.nl/ I still get an error saying that a java plugi is blocked...
It works fine of a windows vista pc... not on my iMac.
From the Safari menu bar, select
Help ▹ Installed Plug-ins
There is a list of MIME types for each plugin. Under "Java Applet Plug-in" you should have this:
| application/x-java-applet;jpi-version=1.6.0_37 |
Is that what you see?
I have restarted the iMAc after doing this
It's working again now. Thanks to Klaus1 and Linc Davis for helping me out!
