I switched back to 6.38 too, and it still didn't work for me. I would tell it to activate/allow java, and it wouldn't do anything. Glad to hear it works for someone.
I'm assuming that if one has aggressive security settings throughout their OS that it'll likely interfere with Java on occasion but especially now with the high risk security issues, at least that's the conclusion I've come to after all the problems I've had in the past with Java/Pogo. Even enabling Java in FF in settings and in realtime on the Pogo site as well as reducing the high security settings in the Java console to medium won't allow it to run on the browser at the moment. I will sometimes override my overall security settings when I need to visit certain sites but since IE is working fine for now and FF on Mac isn't giving me any problems either it seems pointless to do any extra work just to get Firefox+Pogo to work on PC. At least we know IE will likely work with the current Java update for most people who are on PC. You should be fine if you're on Mac.
If Pogo is going to insist on still using Java then I'd rather the developers work on fixing all the glitches and security failings even if it takes a little longer than to have to constantly uninstall and then reinstall a newer supposedly better update every couple of days. Of course Pogo could just do us all a favor and simply abandon Java altogether, you know, like the rest of the world.

edited to say: I encountered my first Java problem, installed 6-38 version and all is right with my world.

I switched back to version 6 update 38. I play all my pogo games on FF with no problem.

- January 24, 2013, 02:58:02 PMFirefox automatically disables Java because of the security holes in it (that Sun/Oracle hasn't fixed yet). You can play flash based games in Firefox without having Java installed at all. But Java based games won't work. Until they release Java 7 update 12, you probably won't be able to use FF for the most part.
I can't speak about Chrome.
I have been using Internet Explorer for the last week or so because it's a terrible browser and doesn't disable Java automatically. So as long as you stay with just pogo, you shouldn't have an issue playing all the games.

- January 24, 2013, 02:27:41 AMyes gran it is in chrome but 2 times i have it not download and install java updates related to pogo. I thought it was odd when it happened but it was 2 different computers. And has not happened since but I find it odd Pogo has a Java update request that it appears Chrome did not get on its own. Now one other thing cause I got caught in this one was I had disabled Java when the security issue came up and forgot to enable it.

(with java 7u11 enabled in add-on) Most of the time a window would pop up saying that the version is unsupported and want me to update it. If I close the browser and start it again, a small window would pop up saying java is not active and asks if I want to activate it. The last time, I chose to 'always activate for this site' (pogo). From then on, I would get a pop up telling me what site wants to run. So far it's been pogo.com or games3.pogo.com, to which I select 'Run'. As long as you don't change game, you should be good.
With Chrome:
(java 7u11 enabled) I get the pop up saying whatever site wants to run. I choose 'Run' for pogo.com and games3.pogo.com. A side note, I notice with Chrome, the play area is larger but not the viewing size. The chat/player list is shifted over too. This was first noticed while playing Sudoku Blast. The pieces would be under the chat/player list so you have to click 'Hint' to finish the game. In World Class Solitaire, half of the right column would be under the chat/player list.
IE8:
Have not used since there is a vulnerability (nothing new there) not associated with Java. IE9 and IE10 is ok, but can't run on XP.

- January 23, 2013, 05:34:54 PMChrome includes java with it's browser so it is updated by auto i think....It all seems Greek to me most of the time anyway..

- January 23, 2013, 05:24:38 PMThis is gonna sound weird buy it is me. Sometimes Java has a problem installing in Chrome. I found if I do not install while in Chrome but save the file ( I use the download file) Then close Chrome then install from the saved file . Does not happen all the time but has happened.

Apparently there was a Java update and now I can't load the embedded games. It keeps asking me to download the latest version, which I have, but it doesn't work. I've tried on Chrome, Mozilla and SeaMonkey. I keep going through the steps and it says it's installed, but even if I reboot the browser and the computer, it still doesn't work. I've tried on 2 computers and I get the same message. I've checked and it's enabled, so I'm not sure what to do.
Any ideas, anyone?
On Mac I haven't had an issue with Firefox but on PC it still won't work. I've been using Internet Explorer when I'm on the PC and it works fine. On both OS systems I almost always use the UK Pogo site because it's fast and easy without all the embedded games. I would suggest uninstalling all existing versions of java on your PC and then reinstalling the latest version which I think is still the 7.11, and using the UK Pogo site at uk.pogo.com for now on either chrome or IE. If you're on Mac just double check your security update settings and in Firefox go to your add-ons and check if they're all up to date as well and make the necessary updates if any. I hope it works for you otherwise I don't know. It seems so random at times even when there are no security threats. You can also try to clear your browser and java cache.
