    Re: FireFox 2

    Personally I use and would recommend the following method for installing java and making it work with firefox:

    Try the following in the command line, the first line installs it (using command line instead of the adept gui) and the next two lines are creating links in folders so it will work with firefox:
    sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-fonts
    sudo ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so /etc/alternatives/mozilla-javaplugin.so
    sudo ln -s /etc/alternatives/mozilla-javaplugin.so /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins/mozilla-javaplugin.so

      If you got to the adept manager

      K-menu > System

      Search for java6 <- this is sun's java version

      select these packages for install:

      sun-java6-bin
      sun-java6-jre
      sun-java6-fonts
      sun-java6-plugin <-this is important for firefox

      or alternatively open konsole and paste this code


      Code:
      sudo apt-get install sun-java6-bin sun-java6-jre sun-java6-fonts sun-java6-plugin
      It will ask you to agree to some terms and conditions, one installed, test java using this web address
