I cant seem to find anywhere if they fixed the Java vulnurability it had in the previous version.

have you looked here?
http://secunia.com/product/4227/
which vulnerability is it?

personally I block all javascript by default
https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=722&application=firefox
and write exceptions for trusted sites

I seem to remember a bunch of threads during the 1.0.3 or 1.0.7 releases that had a big javascript hole, and everyone was reccomending an immediate disabling of javascript. I was just trying to figure out if it was fixed.

yes

if youll scroll down on that first link youd see there are only three partially or unpatched exploits currently known
(all quite old), none of which are critical

and just because Im mean and heartless
IE's comparision

Monkey34, use the NoScript extension to block JavaScript on most sites. It has an easy option to enable JavaScript on the ones you trust (it works with a whitelist instead of a blacklist). This is assuming you meant JavaScript, and not Java. For Java, there's an easy solution: don't install it in the first place.
