672665 - Preferences->Advanced checkbox does not Enable/Disable Java in SM 2.1 & 2.2

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 512378

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Dick Hoffman]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:5.0) Gecko/20110706 Firefox/5.0 SeaMonkey/2.2
Build ID: 20110706120824

Steps to reproduce:

Tried to use the checkbox at Preferences->Advanced to Enable and Disable Java in SeaMonkey 2.1 and 2.2


Actual results:

The result was that the configuration variable "security.enable_java" toggled between True and False when the checkbox was checked or unchecked but Java execution was not affected by this. I had to use the Add-ons Manager to Enable or Disable Java execution.


Expected results:

The Preferences checkbox should have Enabled and Disabled Java execution under SeaMonkey as it used to do in previous versions of SM.

The preference no longer works, but we forgot to remove the UI.
