Yes! It's comforting when an add-on, (especially that one) shows compatibility up to version 3.0 and were on 2.0.0.5.
I noticed Adblock Plus show compatibility up to version 3.0 as well. Guess that's something to look at when installing.

It seems like the last few upgrades my java always seems to be incompatible.Then shortly after java releases an update.Any one else experience this ?

[Dan]

I haven't had any problems BR7, but I also noticed the Java updates around the same time. I see there is one now, go figure,lol.

Exactly the same thing happens here BR7.

[BR7]

Wonder why that just happens to some people and not all.At least Java is quick about getting a fix out

[Dan]

Seems like a bug guys, does your java still work aside from the error message?

From MozillaZine Knowledgebase

The Java console included with JRE 6 is not compatible with Firefox 2.0.0.1 or later due to the manifest file setting the maximum version number to 2.0. This causes a message about the Java console being disabled when you upgrade Firefox. If you change the maximum version number to 2.0.0.*, configure the Java control panel to show the Java console and run a Java applet, sometimes the console will work, other times it will hang Firefox (so it seems to be more than just a version check problem).

Here is the Java bug report for the Firefox problem.

Bug ID: 6506635.

It was suppose to be fixed after Firefox 2.0.0.4 but problems remained. Now the new Java 1.6.0.2 is suppose to have "the fix" lol.

[BR7]

Great information.Thanks Dan

[Dan]

No problem BR7, had some time to search and wanted to find out what these errors were about. I just hope it doesn't return.

Thanks from me too Dan, good research, appreciated. The FileHippo update checker keeps me up to date on the java updates.

Tools like the "noscript" add-on for Firefox can help users block powerful programming languages like Flash and Javascript from running automatically when a user visits a Web site. However, noscript may do little to prevent these types of attacks if the visitor has previously instructed "noscript" to trust the site permanently.

shame on yahoo

these guys would sell their mother to make a buck

I am so happy with Noscript. But it seems we can trust NO one.Henceforth I will only allow temporarily.
