This damn thing keeps popping up at random times.
I have tried numerous times to adjust my Safari settings to address this.
No luck.

[doublepost=1512136038][/doublepost]I did have a Facebook Video Calling file, and three others that didn't look familiar. All now in the trash. We'll see if that solves the problem. THANKSWhen did this start?
I'd bet money that you have the very very old Facebook Video Calling plugin installed. Check your ~/Library/Internet Plugins folder, and delete the FB plugin if you see it. (You may also have other plugins that depend on java, but unless there's something you're aware that you absolutely must have, trash those too).
DON'T install java just to make it go away! Java is a pretty common source of computer-compromising bugs; definitely not something you want running in a web browser or on your computer period.

[doublepost=1512603979][/doublepost]Dropping the computer into a bath of salt water probably wouldn't help.As far as I have been able to figure out, the prompt has nothing to do with any browser. It appears whether there is a browser active or not. I've deleted stuff to no effect. The solution, as shown in a post at Apple's KB is to download an old version of Java, (I followed the prompt and downloaded the version it points to and it did nothing to make it go away).
