Would this work if you have a profile that only detects the needed java applet then launch the browser in another profile that only detects java 7? You can set the preferences separately in separate versions of the browser as well just have the Profile Launcher launch each time you open Firefox.

This is a good reference for that version:

Profile Manager: Profile Manager - Create, remove or switch Firefox profiles
