I'll comment re: Oracle JRE.  Hopefully someone who maintains or uses 
some of the other JRE's you mention can comment.

See:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=843373

Some notes:
  - Mozilla will be eventually enabling "Click to Play" (CtP) for all 
plugins (not just Java) within the next few months
  - The UI for CtP in FF is not quite ready yet, so some of the warnings 
are admittedly out of context  (see comment 7)
  - If you follow the bug, you can see they decided to CtP Java early 
anyways (see comments)

That being said, I'm hoping that the next update, whenever that happens 
to be, won't have the CtP set in FF until the FF CtP UI work is 
completed and the warnings are a bit clearer.
