Firefox and Java 6 Update 21

With the release of Java 6 Update 21, does this mean we will now be able to use the portable firefox browser with java pages?

No

The Java plugin for Firefox is closed source (so we can't alter it) and only supports a local install of Java.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

I assume then that there is still no way to view java pages with the portable apps then?

There is currently no legal way to carry Java and Firefox portably and have them work together without administrative rights on each PC you encounter.
