Why is it that Pogo games load just fine with an older version of Java (the ones they say I should disable) but won't load at all with the the latest Java?

Pogo works fine on older versions of Java but the games simply won't load on the latest version.I've done all the usual things, cleared browser cache and Java cache, uninstalled Java then reinstalled it, made sure it was enabled, blah, blah, blah.... I've had nothing but issues with the latest version of Firefox.

Isisombululo esikhethiwe

yes, this version is no longer updated and might contain security risks, so it will probably best to disable the java plugins in firefox > addons > plugins when you're not using them on the gaming sites in order to stay safe on other websites. therefore i've also suggested to contact the pogo site in order for them to upgrade their content so it can be used with the up-to-date java plugin again.

hello, other users have also reported that the site wont work with the java 7 runtime environment - you might have to uninstall the current version from the windows control panel & downgrade to java 6 update 32 for the moment:

please also report the issue to the site directly...

Thanks, I'll put that version back on. I just had it on not 2 hours ago and received a warning about it,and Firefox disabled it when I restarted the browser. I enabled it again and the games worked.
