Status: RESOLVED FIXED

This is a tracking bug to figure out what to do with liveconnect (i.e. the ability for javascript code to call java code) in the context of click-to-play.

My initial suggestion is to treat this the same as if there's an invisible instance of a Java plugin on the page but I'm open to other ideas, as always

This shouldn't interrupt your work here because I don't know exactly when we'll be able to do it, but I'm looking into removing that feature from the browser altogether.

Marking this resolved as the point is moot if the feature is no longer in the browser.
