You have to report that to sun, Java is from Sun and not from Mozilla.org.

>3.No option to remove, except total deletion of Mozilla
Addons installed by external software must be removed through this software. If there is no option you should ask sun about that.
You can however always disable the addon in the Firefox addon Manager.

I can not see a bug here, marking invalid
