Hello Mark,
Java is a plugin, which is unsupported by TenFourFox and disabled by default. If you're running TenFourFox with plugins enabled, I would suggest to disable at least Java in the Add-ons Manager (Tools>Add-ons>Plugins). Java is now a real security risk, and it won't ever be updated for Mac OS X 10.4 and 10.5 to any secure state. In principal, this is true for all plugins. If you're running into trouble because of plugins, you're on your own.
JavaScript, on the other hand, is part of the browser, there's no need (or possibility) to update it yourself.

In addition, TenFourFox shouldn't be asking you to update anything other than itself. Are you getting this from a website or a particular window?

Can you post a screenshot? I don't think TenFourFox is the one generating that window.

I didn't enable it. Have to check if someone else did

Could it be Yahoo? That puter is OSX 10.4.11.

That's the Firefox Plugin Check. I don't know why it's loaded at startup (maybe a saved session?), but anyway, it's telling you correctly that Java has been disabled in Firefox/TenFourFox because you have an old (therefore insecure) version installed. As I said, there is no way to update Java on your computer to a version that's secure.

Is this still related to the Java question? Anything Yahoo or any website says about Java is irrelevant with TenFourFox because a) it's disabled, and b) it can't be updated anymore on a PPC Mac anyway. I use Yahoo with TenFourFox and I don't see messages about "not secure site", so I'm not sure what you mean.
