I am using Windows XP SP2 Professional. Firefox is my default browser. I currently have version 17.0.1 on auto update. Java is enable and the version is SE 7 U9 10.9.2.5. However, whenever I go to check my plugins I am told that I intend my Java 7 U9 to the latest version being 10.9.2.

Please do not tell me to update my operating system to XP SP3 or Windows 7 as many of my programs/softwares would not run on SP3. If I need to go back to an older version of Java or/and older version of FireFox then please let me know. With Java disabled many of my websites will not open.

I do not like IE or that big fat Chrome either that keeps updating on its own and gobbling more of RAM. Or is it time to say goodbye to FF too for Windows XP SP2?

Your java is out of date, Java.com is incorrect in saying that update 9 is the most recent update. Download and install update 10 from http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/7u10-b18/jre-7u10-windows-i586.exe


Also, you should update to SP3 and all other Windows XP updates even just for the stability and security improvements. There aren't any programs that should stop working with SP3.
