Iceweasel disables Java plugin, demands non-Debian package
If I want to use Java applets (needed, for instance, to watch PBS video), I
can install icedtea-7-plugin, which depends on openjdk.
Then Iceweasel disables it with no option to re-enable it and says, "For
your safety, Firefox has disabled your outdated version of Java. Please
upgrade to the latest version." (https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/)
So for Debian, Iceweasel demands a plugin which Debian no longer supports,
since the sun-java package has been deprecated.
This seems like a bad thing.
Should I file a bug?
Using Wheezy.
