Java works normally (I tried some simple java demos I found via google and a java-based IRC chat) for me when I delete that weird npjp2.dll ("Next Generation Java Plug-in 1.6.0_21 for Mozilla browsers") from bin\new_plugin, but honestly, I have no idea what that plugin does at all and which consequences deleting it might have, but it certainly causes the this is not firefox 3! error.
Confirmation from another user that deleting npjp2.dll (version-21) works fine for him too:

Java: ./bin/npjp2.dll (Next Generation Java Plug-in 1.6.0_21) löschen, dann kannst du auch 1.6.0_21 nehmen.
..befolgt und es funzt einwandfrei!

I've never installed java either, so can not test myself, only quote what others say Googled around a bit and found this on the web, looks like there's an own setting to disable that buggy "new generation" option:

If I remember right someone wrote that didn't help him to remove it from Opera. Anyone can tell if it would help in KM...?

I'll test update 22 under 7 later and post results.

There is no "vulnerability" in the auto update feature. Some people complained that auto update does not remove old versions of Java, leaving previous vulnerable versions on your machine and you have to manually uninstall them.
...
I too had a problem running an applet after installing version 6u10. The problem was in the Next generation plugin. This can be disabled in the Java control Panel.

A Java Update 22 hack:
Get npjpi160_22.dll and npoji610.dll from
./program files/Java/jre6/bin
and copy them to
./program files/K-Meleon/plugins
This way they get precedence over C:\Programme\Java\jre6\bin\new_plugin\npjp2.dll
That is the plugin that raises the error.

Okay guys, do I get this right, that this error happens only in KM1.5x...?
How about KM1.6, does it also work with NO copied plugins at all, despite npjp2 still in java folder?
And KM1.5x, can you confirm that only the npoji610.dll is needed to copy over, nothing else, and npjp2 can still be in the java folder...?

1.) Yes, it happens with the old GRE 1.8 or earlier (I tested on several Mozilla GRE based browsers! It happens even when You spoof FF 3.5 Agent string!).
2.) 1.6 works out of the box with 6_22, nothing to do (like several other Mozilla GRE [1.9 or higher] based browsers). I noticed that no spoofing was needed - only after a while.
3.) Exactly that is what I (& ndbord before me) found on our systems. Copying the files helps. ndbord used the 3 files that he always uses. I started with two files (that I always used to force a particular Java version). & I tested till I knew which one was really needed here.
I confirm, I copied npoji610.dll to the 1.5s plugins dirs and did nothing for the 1.6s.

Not sure about npjpi160_22.dll. The older visual java applets on my home page only needed npoji610.dll. A neet thing to find anyway since none at Sun/Oracle will bother to fix it just for K-Meleon 1.5
