I have Java Console 6.0.01.03 and when I open Firefox it says I can install Version 6.0.02.03 so I say install. Then when I turn off my machine and I go to Firefox it asks me to do it again.

You are 18 updates behind in Java; your version 1.6.0_05; current version is 1.6.0_23. See update instructions below under "Other issues that need your attention".

Disable Java Quick Starter: (Windows) Start > Settings > Control Panel > Java, the Java Control Panel will open, click Advanced tab, expand Miscellaneous, un-check "Java Quick Starter", exit Firefox, then restart Firefox. If I remember correctly, you must do this each time you update Java.

You can uninstall (remove) the Java Console extensions and disable the Java Quick Starter extension, you do not need them to run Java applets.

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Java#Multiple_Java_Console_extensions

Disable the Java Quick Starter extension: Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions
Control Panel -> Java -> Advanced tab -> Miscellaneous -> Java Quick Starter (disable)

See http://www.java.com/en/download/help/quickstarter.xml - What is Java Quick Starter (JQS)? What is the benefit of running JQS? - 6.0

(added a line break before Control Panel)

I can't find a way to Disable the Java Quick Starter. I go to my control panel and it doesn't have Java Control Panel. I tried in Firefox the Tools/add-on/extensions but I have no control panel. I did go to my extensions and uninstalled all Java's.
