Currently, the latest Java version out for WIndows PC, is Java7 U51. Java8 has been released in Beta version. When you do a check in Firefox to check if your plugins are up do date, Firefow tells you that Java is out of date. It wants you to upgrade to Java8. Its been this way from the day Java8 was released in Bate version That shouldn't be. As long as Java8 is only Beta, the lates veriosn that can be referenced is Java7U51. Please fix.

Yes, sorry, this is a known problem and has been posted in the bug tracking system where different approaches are under discussion.

Due to a change in Firefox 29, a completely different system is being developed for plugin checking, and based on what I read yesterday, that might be taking priority over various lingering problems with the current plugin checker.

Version 29? Version 28 hasn't been out for very long and here were talking about a whole new version. Cool.
