Mozilla has blacklisted unpatched versions of the Java plug-in from Firefox on Windows in order to protect its users from attacks that exploit known vulnerabilities in those versions. Mozilla can add extensions or plug-ins to the Firefox add-on blocklist if they cause significant security or performance issues. The latest versions of Java for Windows are Java 6 Update 31 and Java 7 Update 3. Mozilla is also considering adding a blocklist entry for Java on OS X, but Apple is usually months behind Oracle.”]
