SYNOPSIS
--------
Cannot disassociate plugin from Firefox/Mozilla via Java control panel
OPERATING SYSTEM
----------------
Windows
FULL JDK VERSIONS
-----------------
JDK 7 (tested with b142)
Java 6 (tested with 6u25)
DESCRIPTION from LICENSEE
-------------------------
If we uncheck the "Mozilla family" checkbox in Java Control Panel -> Advanced -> Default Java for browsers, applets can still be loaded by Firefox. There seems to be no way to disassociate the plugin from Mozilla/Firefox via the control panel. This seems to be due to the presence of a registry key in HKLM->SOFTWARE->MozillaPlugins, which is added during installation.
REPRODUCTION INSTRUCTIONS
-------------------------
1. Install Firefox browser (we tested with Firefox 3.5 and 4)
2. Install the JRE
3. Open Java Control Panel -> Advanced -> Default Java for browsers, and uncheck the "Mozilla family"" checkbox
4. Launch Firefox and open any HTML page containing an applet
Expected result:
Applet should not be loaded
Observed result:
Applet is loaded
