</I>IIRC, Mageia's own Oracle Java won't be updated beyond version 1.6.x
because of licensing changes. Mageia is recommending the open source
icedtea-web plugin instead.
However, you can install Java 1.7.x yourself when Oracle releases the
fixed version. In Mageia, as in Mandriva before it, the system-wide
firefox plugins can be found in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins. (but be sure
to remove any others, including icedtea-web, that might be there)
