I have been using pogo.com game site for several years without difficulty. Today I got an upgrade notice for Firefox and installed it. Now the pogo.com java does not work. When I do a java test it says everything is cool but the games never load.

Build #1 of Firefox 3.6.14 breaks the Java Runtime Environment, at least on Win7 32bit with JRE v6u23 installed.
My wife reported that the Java games at pogo.com would stop working after a short time of playing. This did not happen with 3.6.13 (also with JRE 6u23).
Here's a simpler test.
1. Go to http:// www.java. com/en/ download/ testjava. jsp
2. Note that the Java information shown by the applet is correct and that the animated coffee cup is seen.
3. Reload the page several times, either by selecting from a bookmark or hitting the Reload button.
4. The applet will stop working. Close the tab with the applet and run the applet again in another tab. Still doesn't work.
Only by restarting Firefox will Java applets again work.
