The Java Plug-in should not be activated unless you absolutely, 
positively, must have it for some particular use. See National Cyber 
Awareness System TA13-064A: Oracle Java Contains Multiple 
Vulnerabilities

In Firefox or SeaMonkey, you can enable/disable the Java Plug-in at 
Tools, Add-ons, Plugins then click the Enable/Disable button.
There really isn't any good reason for having the plug-in enabled unless 
you're using a know, trusted site that requires it; otherwise, disable 
it and leave it that way.
Hope this helps some.
A riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma but that's my story and I'm stickin' to it.
