Question about Java updates in Firefox
Recently started seeing a lot of permutations of Java Console showing up in my FF downloads. The version is 6.0.X...I've gpt 18 different versions of X (1-18)? Anyone know3 why Java would require this many updates in a relatively short period of time?

1. I was wondering the same thing with Sun company going away this week, I think
it may be just wrapping up finished projects while it can, and hand over works in progress to the new owners. Just speculation on my part. RIP Sun, a good company.

2. Whoa....I missed that Sun was going away.
Must. Do. Research.

You can remove anything older than 6.18. It doesn't remove older versions of itself very well when you upgrade to a new version. Just get rid of all the old ones.

3. Not so much going away
but naming itself Oracle.
