Unable to open Java Console after installing JRE6u10

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install JRE6u10 http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp
2. Go to Tools -> Java Console
3. Click on Java Console
4. The Java Console doesn't appear
5. Go again to Tools -> Java Console
6. The Java Console menu item is grayed out
Actual Results:  
The Java Console doesn't appear at all. More, after the first click, the Java Console menu item is grayed out.

Expected Results:  
1. Install JRE6u10 http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp
2. Go to Tools -> Java Console
3. Click on Java Console
4. The Java Console appears
Same happens here with FF 3.0.3 & JVM 1.6.0_10, but works as expectd in SM 1.1.12 with the same JVM, so the bug is 1.9.0.x specific I guess.
Addition: works as expected with FF 3.0.3 and JVM 1.6.0_07.
(I am the technical lead for the Java Plug-In at Sun.)

This is the expected behavior. With 6u10 there is no longer a single JVM attached to the web browser; there might be more than one. For this reason the Java Console menu item doesn't have a clear semantic and we are not planning to support this menu item going forward. You can turn on the Java Console using the Java Control Panel.
This is now an invalid issue as it's working by design via Sun. I'm going to log this bug as Invalid and go from there. Also, litmus test cases need to be updated to take account of this.
