First I think you should go here: https://addons.update.mozilla.org/plugins/ And take note that they talk about all kinds of plugins for firefox, and it isn't Windows only. So you can check there and they'll give you this answer: http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp Please try to install that on your linux machine (the .bin file will run a little text-based installer) and drop it in the directory you're in. **SPOILER ALERT** I prefer figuring out the endings myself, but if you just want it over with: Once it unpacks: copy the file jre1.5.0_01/plugin/i386/ns7-gcc29/libjavaplugin_oji.so to the directory /usr/lib/firefox-1.0/plugins/ sometimes it's just /usr/lib/firefox/plugins or something, depends how many you're running.
