FF 17 initial crash prior to update with Shockwave Flash 11.5.502.135 which RESOLVED. 

 Then Java 7 U9  began crashing.  Bios updated, All Software/Hardware updated as well. Installed U10 from Oracle and still crashing. Got rid of U10 and went back to U9.
 At least it's not crashing every 3-5 minutes as U9 did before.   Do not want to stay in safe mode forever.  HELP....I'm missing something?   Where I'm at now with Add-ons Manager stating U9 outdated....plus many other Plugins are listed as "unknown":

Java(TM) Platform SE 7 U9 Next Generation Java Plug-in 10.9.2 for Mozilla browsers Outdated Version Update Plugin Icon Java Deployment Toolkit 7.0.90.5 NPRuntime Script Plug-in Library for Java(TM) Deploy Outdated Version Update

Since this began happening, the following plugins became unknown and suggested "research". Microsoft Office 2010 The plug-in allows you to open and edit files using Microsoft Office applications Unknown plugin Research Plugin Icon Windows Live™ Photo Gallery NPWLPG Unknown plugin Research Plugin Icon Simple Pass Website Logon Plugin Unknown plugin Research Plugin Icon Intel® Identity Protection Technology Intel web components updater - Installs and updates the Intel web components Unknown plugin Research Plugin Icon Google Update Google Update Unknown plugin

Resolved.....Java is green on Add-ons Manager. I pulled up the Java Control Panel and clicked on UP-Date. Damn if it didn't do it beautiful and now tool kit is gone and this is what the plugin profile shows with only ONE ENTRY NOW:

Java(TM) Platform SE 7 U10 Next Generation Java Plug-in 10.10.2 for Mozilla browsers 1.7.0.10 Up to Date.

What I learned --- Do not use update from Oracle, regardless if U9 completely removed. Let the "Java Control Panel" on your computer do the work.

Can't wait to see if my "crash days" are over!


I'm not out of the woods yet. Profile page still shows GREY---Plugins UNKNOWN and RESEARCH for the following:

MS Office, Windows Live Photo Gallery, Simple Pass, Intel ID Protection Tech., and Google Update

Does anyone know why the above plugins are listed as "unknown" on the Add-ons Manager?
