I noted then that deleting pluginreg.dat changed ALL my disabled plugins to enabled (THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN STRESSED ABOVE). I removed pluginreg.dat, restarted, enabled the java plugin. Thanks Bruce – in my case did remove blocklist.xml, rebooted – and then still no enable java RE button. Or that the hardblock completely ignores user_pref(“”, false)

NOTE: This also indicates to me that prefs.js: user_pref(“”, false) ĭoes not work ‘correctly’, instead it controls the update of pluginreg.dat and blocklist.xml as opposed to whether they are used or not. Disclaimer: since this is ‘hacking’ the file, make a backup first, and if you do screw this particular file up, you can just delete. This way you don’t loose the disables that you already have. I later got a ‘5’ in this slot, which I suspect is a ‘softblock’. I suspect that the 21 represents the hardblock. It will look something like:Ĭhange the ’21’ at the end to a ‘1’. The line after “C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\new_plugin\npjp2.dll”. To ‘hack’ it, you need to be out of Firefox. the problem is in one line in pluginreg.dat. You also need to delete/rename pluginreg.dat. Looked at pluginreg.dat – Java Platform SE 6 does not show up. Looked at Tools->Addons->Plugins, Java Platform SE 6 shows disabled for ‘myown protection’ – no ability to enable. Stopped/closed Firefox – verified on taskmanagerīlocklist.xml – renamed to o_blocklist.xmlĪbout:addons – doesn’t work, used about:plugins It was never our intention to leave everybody with no choice, although we still strongly urge everyone to update to safe versions of Java as soon as possible.Ĭategories: end users, general 33 responses We apologize for the immense inconvenience this has caused. Once again, you only need to do one of the 2. Even if you accidentally disable it again, you can follow steps 4 and 5 and this should correct the problem permanently. In a day or so (when the blocklist is reloaded) you’ll see a new warning about the plugin if you’re using a vulnerable version, which you should be able to ignore. Update: according to the comments below, you might also need to delete pluginreg.dat on the same directory. Look for the Profile Directory entry and click on the button next to it in order to open it.

There are 2 ways to do this, and either one should be sufficient to correct the problem.Ī) Install the latest version of Java from. However, it can take as much as 24 hours for the blocklist to be reloaded, so here are the instructions that you should follow in order to reload it and enable the plugin. The problem has been corrected and now the block is back to working as a softblock. This gave affected users no alternative other than disabling the plugin. Secondly, we made a mistake that caused the Windows and Linux block to apply as a hardblock instead of a softblock. If we do so, it will be softblocked, meaning that you still have the choice to keep the plugin enabled.

It should be noted that we haven’t blocklisted Java on Mac OS X yet, but we might do so in the following days. All Mac OS X users should run Software Update and update their Java software as soon as possible.
We blocklisted the Java plugin yesterday, and there are 2 major updates that you should know about.įirstly, Apple has released a security update that fixes the security vulnerability in Java.
