Can you describe the usability problem in detail? We absolutely are
planning to continue to make all versions of Java click-to-play by
default. Users should be presented with the choice to always activate
Java on your site.
See my blog post at
https://blog.mozilla.org/futurereleases/2013/09/24/plugin-activation-in-firefox/
decribing the UI behavior and motivations.
*Question n°1*) Why is mozilla steel blocking java 7 update 40 ?
I think (I am not a security wizard) Oracle has fixed the security issues a
few month or weeks ago.
Is it not ?
Java has had a very poor security track record. Bugs reported to Oracle
have been left unfixed for months or even years. Mozilla believes that
Java is fundamentally not safe for most users, nor is it part of our
vision for the open web. We intend to make it possible for users to
continue using Java on particular sites if it is necessary for them, via
the click-to-activate UI.
We encourage you to transition your site away from Java as soon as
possible. If there are APIs which you need in the web platform in order
to make that possible, please let me know and we will try to make adding
those a priority.
