but it needs Java which I've had installed for years on Windows XP SP3.

However, in Firefox 3.6, Tools>>Options>>Content>>Java is MISSING!

There's Tools>>Options>>Content>>JavaScript but no line item for Java (I'm sure it used to be there before I upgraded to Firefox 3.something).

Where did Tools>>Options>>Content>>Java go?

Firefox 3.5.7 had an obvious "Enable Java" checkbox preference: Tools=>Options=>Content=>Enable Java

Firefox 3.6 does not: about:config security.enable_java user set boolean true Tools=>Add-ons=>Plugins=>Java(TM) Platform SE 6 U11 6.0.110.3

Users with security concerns in Firefox 3.5.7 who disabled Java will have Java silently enabled by default in Firefox 3.6:
