Remove obsolete preference (code).

This can wait until c-c branches.

Serge, 2.1 has been released. Which branch should this be ported for?

Summary: *SeaMonkey skipped *-1.9.2. *SeaMonkey 2.1 has been released: marking as WontFix there. *SeaMonkey 2.2+ still want this, unless branch is already code frozen. Remember to remove the 2 strings in non string frozen branches too: http://mxr.mozilla.org/comm-central/search?string=enbJavaCheck.&case=1&find=%2Fsuite%2F

2.2 is string frozen 2.3 will be in the next week or so once 2.2 comes out

As Serge said, u missed a line from the .dtd file and there is also the profile migration files. http://mxr.mozilla.org/comm-central/search?string=security\.enable_java&regexp=on&find=&findi=&filter=^[^\0]*%24&hitlimit=&tree=comm-central Should be just a matter of deleting the two lines that mention security.enable_java Any help need updating too?

Is this worth a) relnoting b) landing non-l10n changes on branches?

(In reply to comment #14) > Is this worth a) relnoting Sure, done (for 2.2 only, see next point). > b) landing non-l10n changes on branches? Having useless UI just adds confusion, so I'd vote for copying all changes except the pref-advanced.dtd ones to branches (given that Help changes are allowed as long as no files are added/removed/renamed).

This is not fixed in SM 2.2; the preference, albeit inoperative, is still present and checking the UI checkbox toggles it between True and False. The result is a security exposure; the naive user thinks Java is being Enabled and Disabled but the default Enabled cannot be changed using the preference, but only via the Add-ons Manager.

(In reply to comment #17) > This is not fixed in SM 2.2 No-one said it was. The Target Milestone is currently SM 2.5 and it has been relnoted for SM 2.2 (granted, only yesterday, see comment 16). If it won't make SM 2.3 or SM 2.4, it will be relnoted for these, too.

No idea how you guys handle this, but this did change the localizable help files.
