Wow, I suppose Java is next in line to go. If Mozilla is dropping it, then I'm sure other companies will follow suit with their browsers.

This is going to force websites to remove/convert anything Java-related. Seems like I've been using it for the longest time.

When I switched to a new Windows 7 system in February 2014, I didn't bother to install Java.

Personally i am glad it's on it's way out as it's just another security risk like Flash. but thankfully Flash is slowly dying as HTML5 for video playback in a web browser is just better.

i don't have either Java or Flash installed and my computer is that much more secure because of it.
