Bug Description

Starting a couple days ago, each time I visit a crossword site, which optimally uses Java, I'm getting an error message that IcedTea is out of date and needs to be updated, but when I click the 'Update plug-in' button, I get taken to a wiki page, not an update page. I've updated Ubuntu daily and I still get the error and even tried updating it manually in Synaptic, last night, but found that the build available is the one I already have (I updated it anyway, just in case something was amiss - it wasn't).

I will attach a screenshot.

No. I did get the updates and applied them, but I still get this error
message: IcedTea was blocked because it is out of date. Also, this is
happening in Chrome, not Firefox, for what it's worth. I don't know who
moved this issue to Firefox, if it matters.
