My "Java Platform" plugin is listed as insecure and blocked in the main Add-ons window and I am instructed use the plugin check page to update. When I go to the plugin check page it shows the "Java Platform" plugin as already being "up to date". What could be causing these opposite pieces being generated in relation to the same plugin?

Java, even though it is up to date, is insecure. Why do I have to click to activate plugins?

Please update the Java plugin to the latest 7U17 version. That version doesn't seem to be blocked at this moment.

You can find the latest Java version on the Oracle website.

See Java Platform > Java SE 7U17 (JRE Download)
