<![CDATA[Java & Flash Player; how to get them to work with Opera v12.18?]]>I have installed the latest version of Java. I haven't tried Flash Player yet, but the problem has always been how to get Opera to 'see' both programs??

I need both for the "SpeedTest" site to troubleshoot Internet jitter issue using VoIP. I don't see anything under preferences other than JavaScript which is another animal.

Input?

:eek:

Bottom line, that one site was the only one that needed Java that was a issue here. AFAIC, it's just too much hassle to bother troubleshooting on something I haven't needed just because one lame site and VoIP provider chose to use if for testing when other sits appear to have similar tests and don't need Java.

I did express this to PhonePower(Broadvoice). They have sent me trace route charts showing where a problem maybe from my ISP (which is now Spectrum).

The number of security flaws present in any older-numbered Java version compared with any newer-numbered version is truly breathtaking, regardless of the versions being compared.

That said, and as you probably already know, most security experts recommend removing Java entirely from general-purpose systems because of Java's constantly-appearing and serious security problems, with new problems being discovered as fast as old ones are patched.

If one absolutely must have Java access in a web browser for accessing a specific site, some experts (Brian Krebs, etc) recommend only allowing Java access via a single Java-enabled web browser on a system, and only ever using that specific browser on known-safe sites that require Java enablement. General web browsing should then always be done with a different web browser that possesses no Java functionality, in order to minimize exposure to the vast number of Java drive-by exploits existing in the wild.

If you use Java anywhere else, such as in Internet Explorer, then obviously the former is preferable.

How about just using the older version instead of swapping files??

I suppose it's complementary information. 🙂

The last version that works "out of the box" with no messing around is Java 7 Update 67.
Java 8 Update 66 is the last that will work if you substitute the npjp2.dll file with the one from Java 7 Update 67, but I wouldn't vouch for the security status of that configuration.

I beleive I have Opera ID'ed as Opera, but I forgot where that setting is. I couldn't find it under Preferences or using 'opera:config'.

Java is not.I read Java is on the way out. I sent a e-mail to PhonePower (formally Broadvoice) telling them they need to abandon the 'Titanic'. At least two other sites appear to test what they are looking for w/o Java.
