Adblock Plus and (a little) more
Great Java news · 2008-02-25 12:56 by Wladimir Palant
It appears that Sun released a beta version of their new Java plugin, much earlier than I expected. The important thing is: this plugin no longer relies on the ancient OJI code in Mozilla’s codebase to implement things like LiveConnect (integration between JavaScript and Java applets). Instead, the new plugin uses the same scripting interfaces as all other plugins as well. This will reduce the number of issues significantly — nobody really felt responsible for the complex OJI code lately, and Adblock Plus seemed to trigger lots of issues. I guess that OJI will still stay around at least in Firefox 3 but it will no longer be used, and maybe in Firefox 4 it will be removed entirely.

We have already disabled OJI in mozilla-central and will definitely not be shipping it for the Firefox based on Mozilla 2.

I have Firefox 2.00.12 but it appears that Internet Explorer 7.0 comes up with Firefox and I would prefer to have Firefox as my browser and have stated that I thought when I installed Firefox. Please advise how I can just have Firefox come up with no reference to IE 7.0? Reason being that I do want and need IE for other programs to work ok.
THANK YOU
