In both SAFE and Regular browser windows, the UNINSTALL button is grayed out.

I have tried in SAFE MODE, as well as the Help>troubleshooting Information>Application Basics>Profile Directory>Open Containing Folder,,,(looked, nothing there),,,,in both SAFE and Regular browser windows.

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

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

Your above posted system details show outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks that you should update.

Update the Flash plugin to the latest version.
