In re-enabling Java you suggest enabling the add-on (in my case Java Deployment Toolkit 6.0.340.4) Isn't this an old one?

With regard to your advice on 'Old versions of Java have been blocked - update and unblock Java' at http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/update-and-unblock-java

In the re-enabling Java section at list item 3, you state: Find the Java Platform or Java Runtime item and click Enable.

My question is: The item is listed in Add-ons Manager as Java Deployment Toolkit 6.0.340.4 6.0.340.4 (disabled) It's the numbers which worry me. Would I be enabling the latest version of Java, or an old one?

please update the plugin to this patched version (you're appearing to run Version 6 Update 34 at the moment) : http://www.java.com/en/download/manual_v6.jsp

Do you even need the Java Deployment Toolkit?

That "toolkit" is usually only needed for programmers doing Java development work.

Many thanks the-edmeister. No, I don't develop any Java apps whatever.
