About Firefox blocking all current Java versions

$

Greetings

Firefox in order to pretect users, they have enabled Click To Play for recent versions of Java on all platforms (Java 7u9, 7u10, 6u37, 6u38)
Firefox Blocks All Current Java Versions to Block Zero-Day

But, when you have Noscript installed,
the placeholder that Noscript shows for every java content that it blocks
doesn't contain the message that this plugin has been blocked by Firefox, as security vulnerable.


To reproduce:
in a clean FF profile without Noscript installed
visit a page with java content,
you'll get this message:
Image

But, with Noscript installed
if you visit the page
you'll get this instead:
Image


I'd suggest that,
for any content blocked by Noscript for which the plugin is blocked by Firefox,
Noscript to show the placeholder of screenshot2 with the text addition "This plugin has security vunrabilities".
