I recommend you disable Java in your browsers until a release is fixed, otherwise you could be susceptible to malware.

In Firefox: Press Firefox button -> Add-ons, go to Plugins and click the "Disable" button next to anything named "Java".
In Chrome: Type in: "chrome://plugins/" into the address bar (no speech marks). Scroll down to Java and click disable.
In Opera: Type in "opera: plugins" into the address bar (no speech marks or space). Scroll down to:

• Java(TM) Platform <click on> Disable.
• Java Deployment Toolkit <click on> Disable.

In Internet Explorer: Go to Tools -> Manage add-ons -> Toolbars and Extensions. At the bottom, show: All add-ons. Find anything under Sun Microsystems or named "Java"/"Deployment Toolkit" and right-click -> Disable it.
