Hi Jeanette,

You still need to setup a symbolic link in order to get the Java plugin
working in your browser:

1. Locate the plugins directory for your Firefox. It should be something
like /usr/lib/firefox-1.5.0.4/plugins

2. Locate the Java plugin in your Java distribution. The filename should
be something like libjavaplugin_oji.so. I'm not sure where this file is
located for Sun's Java, because I never use it on Linux. Anyway, the
general location should be /path/to/java/jre/bin/

3. Create a symbolic link:

# ln -s /path/to/java/jre/bin/libjavaplugin_oji.so \
/usr/lib/firefox-1.5.0.4/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so

4. Restart the browser and in the address bar, type: about:plugins

5. You should see the Java plug-in registered there.

Hope this helps!
