One of the reasons that Mozilla maintains a plugin check page - http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ - and Firefox either automatically disables outdated plugins or warns the user that they have out dated plugins installed (depending upon the severity of vulnerability level) and refers the user to the plugin check page.
useless thread, locking. You should always have java updated if you need it, and uninstalled if you don't.
