Oooooo But Unc you're my Guru
...... Do I need this Java thing at all .....? because the version I have installed is shown as this
Entry Name : Java(TM) 6 Update 26
Version : 6.0.260
Company : Oracle
Installation Folder : C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\
on my Add Ons/Extensions in Firefox it is showing as Java Console 6.0.26 DISABLED Not compatible with Firefox 6 ............... but I can't see anything different happening without it !
so, that's why I wonder do I need it ?
I have another Java thingy ... called Quickstarter which is enabled in Firefox 6 ...... my mind has closed down again
