Java incompatible after upgrade to Firefox 7, can not get e-mail now, or use multiple web sites. Help!
After upgrade, Java console was incompatible. Need this to log in to e-mail, ISP site, college payment site, Federal Student Aid site. Multiple sites use Java for log in!

- The FAFSA website needs Firefox 3.6.23, doesn't work with a 4.0+ version. My advice is to install Firefox Portable 3.6.23 for use at that website, it won't affect your Firefox 7.0.1 installation.

Note, removing 7.0.1 and going back to 3.6.23 could result in personal data loss.
- Java Script is used for logins, not Java.

- The Java Console extension is really only needed by Java developers to de-bug their code, it is not needed by the average user.
Problem fixed. I found another browser that works with my ISP that will not require going through lots of questions with no real help available. Sorry, but Java is buried in the Console heading somewhere and is not easily accessible. Firefox update just does not work, is causing problems and I found another alternative. Try Google Chrome. Works for me.
