Old Java Console versions. Do I need to keep them?

[vomacka]

I noticed that in my Firefox (3.6.11) add-ons, I have three JAVA Console versions.

6.0.05
6.0.21
6.0.22

Do I need to keep the older versions? Should I remove them and just keep 6.0.22?

Thanks.

It is possible that you could have applications that need an older version to run but, generally, you can remove older versions. I do.

Funny you should ask.... I just posted a solution the other day

You can remove them... but if you;re running Vista or Windows 7 there's a subtle but easy trick to it

Thanks.

I am using XP. Your article was very helpful. Thanks. It got me thinking of removing the old versions.

Actually, I think I will disable them first and see if there are any problems in FF. No problems, then I will remove them.
