Java plug-in update check shows not current version after update same thing
Chosen solution
You may need to exit then restart your browser after updating Java in order for the correct Java version to show on the Plugin Check page. I found it necessary to do that.

- Check for version on Java site - http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp
Other - You should check your Plugins and update as needed.

I too have this problem. Current installed version of Java is SE7 update 9 but the add-on manager still shows it as an older version even after restarting Firefox browser. Running Firefox 17.0.1 under Windows 7 32bit SP1
