I have the current version of firefox. When I checked my plug-ins on firefox it said Java was outdated. So I updated it and now firefox has disabled it because it is not compatible. So do I now have to take off this version Of java? which version do I need and where do I get it?

Firefox automatically disables only Java Console; see info below on Java Console

Removing the Java Console extensions has no effect on the functioning of Java for web browsing. You can see, but not remove, the Java Console extensions in Add-ons > Extensions. Java Console extensions can be safely removed manually by following the instructions in this article:
