I'm using 46.0.1. I'm not getting any "update Java" messages, but I'm crashing or getting that 'not responding' thing over a dozen time a day. I'll go out for a couple of hours leaving my computer on and Firefox running, and come back to the crash report window, so it crashed while nothing was happening. Are others having this problem?
