Since upgrade to 8.0.1 every startup of Firefox pops up a box asking me if I want to install Java Quick Starter 1.0. I always say yes but the next startup it asks me the same question. Why?

I thought once you allowed a plug-in to be installed and allowed in Firefox it would stay installed. Why do I have to allow it every time? I don't even know what the extension does.

Chosen solution

Go to Control Panel, double click Java. In the Java control panel, click the Advanced tab. Click the + in front of Miscellaneous and uncheck the Java Quick Starter box to remove the add-on. Restart firefox.

Better disable it if you install it or do not install it at all. This is coming with Java 6.10 release and later. Useless for me.
