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.
