None of the exception list stuff matters, because the browsers no longer
invoke java.  Firefox was the last one that worked, and with version 52 it
stopped working as a concious developer choice.  There is nothing that can
be done at the Java level.   Webex specifically doesn't work any more.
Neither does Entrust in a browser, and likely countless enterprise things
that use Java.
