I recently update my version of Firefox, and the first time I opened it got a message to the effect that it had found an incompatable version of Java, 6.0.1 I think, so it had disabled it.
Is this a general problem, or does it sound like my machine? What version of Java can I use?

Reproducible: Always

i guess this is a dupe of Bug 364390

Its not the plugin, its the Java Console as incompatible addon (because of the
max version).

You can test the java version also on http://www.javatester.org/version.html to check if java is working.

Yeah, I hit this the other day testing a bug. It's indeed a dupe of bug 364390.

This is not a Firefox Bug. You need to update the Java Version. Please see http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/2.0.0.8/releasenotes/#issues and the first entry in the Windows & Windows Vista section

   I just tried it and had to use restore to get my java to work.  I also checked to see if I have the latest version of java and I do.  So, it seems to be your problem.  It still says that java is not compatible with firefox.
