You can see a safe Java applet here. If your Java is enabled, the time

I have Java installed, and SM confirms in about:plugins, and so does the
Java Control Panel, which says it's enabled, but the display is static.
So the answer is: unless you know of a specific web site(s) that actually
do use Java applets, you can safely remove it - or at least disable it,
possibly via the use of the PrefBar extension (also makes it easy to
manage many other things, including en/disable JavaScript).

Now I'm puzzled. I went to the site you provided and got a static
display. I then went to a site I use (washingtonpost.com, entertainment,
crosswords, daily crossword, and it displayed a Java logo while loading,
and advised that if it doesn't work, you should update to the current
version of Java. If this site is using JavaScript, would it display the
Java logo?
I got no warning, but completed the crossword without difficulty.
So do I or don't I have Java "enabled"?
