| Subject | java update for safari |
| Message-ID | <ba6eddb6-ec4d-4267-afdc-874b4075d412@googlegroups.com> |
I got alert that my java is out of date, so I downloaded and installed it. Safari still did not recognize this java, even after rebooting. The same happens with chrome and firefox. I then looked for where java is installed, so I can uninstall what is there, but I could not find it. Any advice welcome.

What error message (again, verbatim please) are you seeing in Safari / Firefox? > I then looked for where java is installed, so I can uninstall what is > there, but I could not find it. System Preferences > Java > Java Control Panel > Java tab will show you where it is installed. Removing it is not for the faint of heart, and typically is not necessary anyway. -- E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my ravenous SPAM filter. I often ignore posts from Google.

I just did that to see if my Java was up do date. It wasn't. When I updated, Oracle wanted to change my home page and my default search engine to Yahoo. No thanks. If I were uneasy about something I'd installed, I'd run malwarebytes. It's free.
