What does Facebook use Java for anyway? Reason, I ask is that I have just started using Facebook on a regular basis and have noticed a few issues when running it throughout Firefox 3.5.1 with Java enabled.
If you do anything on Facebook for a long time during a single Firefox session with Java on, eventually the browser gets "stuck" and you can't do anything on it. At this point I will exit out of Firefox, but then I find that it is still in memory, so then I have to invoke Windows Task Manager to clear it out altogether.
Only today did I decide to experiment using Facebook in Firefox with Java disabled. So far, I have not had any problem doing this, and when I exit from Firefox, the browser clears itself from memory OK.
One other point - The only Java option that Firefox users appear to have is to either enable it or disable it. There is no exceptions option, at least that I can find. If such an option existed, ideally it should allow one to specificly list which web-sites you do NOT want Firefox's Java feature to be active on whenever you visited such sites.
Of course, Firefox could be made to do it the other way - Java always disabled, except for sites you list where you want Java enabled.
