Java/Firefox question
Firefox prompted me to update Java 7 32 bit and Java 8 32 bit and 64 bit.
Do I still need Java 7 after updating Java 8? Thanks

I would just leave it alone and not worry about it.

(3,033 posts)I called Avast last night about this issue. They attempted to sell me tech support, which I declined. I went to their forum and it's a known issue with their software updater, and there were instructions on how to reset the database. All's well now. Java website removed all the old versions for me.

Here is a link to the Java Uninstall Tool that will assist you in uninstalling older versions:
