How do I get different and older versions of java plugin to work
I want to use firefox at my work, my company uses a program that uses java. But the programmers at my company aren't really good and when they check for the java plugin they check for the specific jre-6u21 instead of the generic with 6uXX. Sometimes I have to use another version of the program that requieres Version=1,4,2,06. They work fine with iexplorer.
If I update to the current version (update 24) Firefox can't find the plugin. Explorer just gives a warning that you might be missing important security updates.
Can Firefox give a warning or run with the latest version instead of looking for the missing plugins?

This is what Oracle has to say about the problem: Download older versions of Java
If you install an older version in Firefox it will be listed in Tools | Add-ons | Plugins and you can disable it there. But as Oracle mentions, using older versions potentially exposes your system to attack such as the one mentioned here: Floating Point Bug
