Security experts say you should only be running Java in your browser if its absolutely necessary. This will help mitigate other Java vulnerabilities that may be discovered in the future. Patching against this security hole isnt the end of the story. You need to seriously consider whether Java has any place in your web browser at all. If you can’t avoid using a handful of websites that demand your browser supports Java, then why not have a different browser specifically for visiting those sites? That way youll be a lot safer next time a serious vulnerability is found in Java.”]
