Unable to use any website with Java
Okay so ever since I updated to Firefox 4 I can't use any Java at all. I tried searching for some solution but none of them work. Whenever I go to an area that requires Java, it tells me I do not have Java installed, and there is nothing wrong with my plugins. So I tried researching this problem and found that I supposedly need Java version 6 Update 10 or higher, yet I have java version 6 update 11. So the problem is obviously with Firefox and not with me... Now I'm forced to use Internet Explorer, and god knows how horribly slow and freeze-prone that web browser is. Yet a slow browser is better than being unable to use a browser at all...Help?

The problem may be that you have a very old version of Java installed
- that is 14 updates behind
- has many know security issues
- sites may not work if the site detects the old security-riddled version
Yes, Java 1.6.0_10 is a minimum, but you should always keep your programs and plugins updated to the latest versions.
You need to update the following. The Plugin version(s) shown below was/were submitted with your question and is/are out of date. You should update to avoid known security issues with the version(s) you have installed. Click on "More system info..." to the right of your question to see what was included with your question.
