Mozilla does not natively support Java, there are hooks for it to support your
favorite JVM.  So some people that use Mozilla may be vulnerable but they will
know who they are.  If you try to view/run Java with standard Mozilla the
browser will crash, but what do you expect its ALPHA code.  BTW the nightly
builds are up to M18.
