| I just had a Java update and afterward -- and upon opening FF -- received a message that "another program on your computer would like to modify firefox with the following add-on: Java Console 6.0.35."
I don't recall ever having to select whether to allow the installation of this or not. Now that I have the choice, I'm not sure if it's something I need to do or whether it does more 'harm' than good. Suggestions ? :-) |

| Most people would let it install. Right now there is a danger with java and firefox and are recommending disable jave in add-ons until they made a security update.. Maybe that is the security update ! |

| Thanks for the lightning-fast response, Mikie ! :-) |

| Apparently that is what it is.. Oracle has updated its widely used Java software framework to fix critical vulnerabilities that criminals were actively exploiting to take full control of end-user computers.<\b> |

| Yes let it install, any time there's a java update it should be done since they are usually security related. |
