Watch out for problems using websites that have Java applets, after updating Java on your computer to version 7 Update 51. They added a security check that prevents self-signed applets from running, in favor of applets signed by a "trusted authority". It turns out, lots of websites have self-signed applets. There's a workaround, assuming you trust the author of that website: In the Java control panel, they added a new "Exception Site" list, to which you can add the address of the website you're trying to use, which will disable the security check for that site. Be careful to match the URL exactly! Good luck out there!
Some of the things that are broken by this security update include:
www.time.gov
www.dslreports.com
Web-based Citrix server
Web-based RealVNC server
Web-based Juniper VPN server
Various self-signed java applets embedded in hardware/firmware
