A patch just landed on Nightly to make this better in the future (this 
code should get to release in 12 weeks unless something bad is 
discovered in it). I sincerely hope that 99.9% of the users will never 
enable Java Console again and this won't be a problem any more in the 
future.

Yes, we should remove this page. I think this is also in the works. Feel 
free to chime in and help with the patch.
