Uninstalling JAVA Console Add-on

JAVA seems to be a popular topic lately on this here blog. So here is another Firefox and JAVA related post for your reading pleasure.

Yesterday I was helping a family member at their home with an odd issue with their Firefox 3.6 install on Windows 7. It seems they had several versions of the JAVA Console add-on installed and they could not uninstall them (‘uninstall’ button was greyed out). I am not even really sure what this extension is suppose to since I did not have this add-on installed. From what I have read it is suppose to open the JAVA Console from within Firefox. Yet, on their machine however, it did nothing.

Locate Your Profile Folder Easily in Firefox 3.6

1. From the Firefox Help Menu, select Troubleshooting Information… or in a new tab type about:support and press enter.
2. In the new tab that opens there is a section Application Basics, click the Open Containing Folder button
