-=PCTechTalk=- Re: Firefox, java,binary files???

I found it in Control Panel, Java,View.  Only one as expected.
Did you know there are two in Firefox add-ons, plug ins and one says it is 
Java (TM) Platform SE binary?  I have the option to disable it.  Think I 
will try that before I do the uninstall-reinstall of Java.
