Lots of info out there on how to do it such as:

On the Winni Forum it looks like you can still navigate around with Java disabled but things like drop down menus don't work. Maybe Don is already looking into the impact. Oracle has not said how long it will take to get a fix.

I have Java disabled on my Firefox browser but turn it on for a few trusted sites such as my online bank account as you can't log on without Java enabled.
When it comes to our government I believe none of what I hear and only half of what I see. I like many others have lost ALL faith.
Way to many things are kept from us.
