Most importantly, to be secure, you need to update to 10.9.5 and install the Security Updates (including Safari) which follow, and depend on, 10.9.5 being installed. 10.9.3 has actively exploited vulnerabilities (although they are unlikely to affect most home computers.)
Java is almost certainly not enabled in the browser anyway at this point.
