I want to disable permanantly this stupid blocking firefox does when I want to install or upgrade an app, particularly Java. It is my decision what goes on my computer not firefox. I was going to go to another browser when a person from firefox on facebook said I could disable it but didnt tell me how. So I want to know how to so I can disable it for good or I shall have to find another browser. Security or not its my choice what I put on my computer and I wont be dictated to about what I can or cannot have on my computer.

hello Jenna9, i'm not aware that there is any blocking built-into firefox when you're updating java (quite on the opposite, users are encouraged to keep their plugins up to date). could you provide the exact wording of the blocking notification that you are seeing or provide a screenshot?
