Which Java Do I Download?

Okay, first off, I had the same problem that another person listed in this thread: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/991038?esab=a&as=aaq

Following the links Cor-el posted as an answer, I was lead to these pages: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html and http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre8-downloads-2133155.html

Mostly, these pages seem to solve the issue, however, one small problem still exists for me: Due to a combination of not having dealt with this issue in a long time, and being not at all computer savvy, I'm not sure which exactly I should download.

I'm pretty sure that it's Java JRE 8, but I want to be sure so I don't cause a bigger problem than I already have.

Also, clicking on the Java JRE 8 button leads me to a list of download links, two of which are for "Windows x64", which is what I have. One ends in ".exe", and one ends in ".tar.gz". Which do I download?

You install Java for your whole system, not only your browser. It's always recommended to upgrade to the newest version, so do that. You might have to restart your browser afterwards for the changes to take effect.

Take care.

Firefox is a 32 bit application, so you need to install the 32 bit Java version to use Java with Firefox.

Thank you cor-el, that seems to have been the solution.
