Should the Java Plug-in 2 for NPAPI 1.6.0.31 be disabled?

I was updating my Google Blogger sites, and got a Firefox error message that I believe said that the Java Plug-in 2 for NAPAPI 1.6.0.31 should be disabled, and I should restart Firefox. I decided to sign out of my Blogger account before disabling the plugin, but when I did so, the Firefox error message was no longer there (so that's why I'm not positive it was that plugin). I went into the Plugin Check page and and see that the plugin is "up to date." Should I disable it anyway?

hello, java versions including 1.6.0_31 & upwards should not be blocked by firefox, i don't know why you got the notification in the first place (maybe the block was implemented when there was still an out-of-date version of the plugin on your pc & the plugin update happened immediately afterwards).
