I see your question is already answered, but I'll add that there are
a zillion open security bugs for java and many are actively being
exploited in the wild recently.
If you must use java in Firefox (as I do) then make sure that your
version of Firefox is the latest one (19-something) because it will
ask your permission before running any java applets. Firefox will
allow you to override the warnings for selected websites so it won't
become irritating at sites you trust.
IIUC there are exploitable bugs in java7 that don't exist in java6,
so I'm sticking to java6 for now, though 6 isn't perfect either.
