Mozilla's check your plugins page is claiming that Java 7 update 51 is outdated. This is on my XP Pro machine using the latest version of SeaMonkey.

Java 8 is out only at Oracle's download page (not on java.com for several more weeks). Further, Oracle is NOT supporting Java 8 on XP computers.

So, why do I get an erroneous message?

On Windows 8 Pro computer, I get the same erroneous message for SeaMonkey 2.25 (and for Fx 24.4 ESR).

I upgraded on Windows 8 computer to Java 8 and had to use system restore to get back to Java 7 update 51. Java 8 does not work with my Java speedtests. The only reason I have Java installed is for speed tests.

Java 7 is being supported for at least another year by Oracle for security patches so there is no reason at all for Mozilla to claim Java 7 update 51 is outdated on either version of Windows.
