Firefox - Install Java plugin for Firefox

Hi,
  1. Download lastest version java from: http://www.java.com/en/download/linux_manual.jsp?locale=en
    • Example: download Linux x64 file, I will have "jre-6u30-linux-x64.bin" file
  2. Create java folder
    1. cd /usr
    2. mkdir java
    3. cd java
    4. mv jre-6u30-linux-x64.bin /usr/java
    5. sudo chmod +x /usr/java/jre-6u30-linux-x64.bin
    6. ./jre-6u30-linux-x64.bin
  3. Find your Firefox directory:
    1. See on About Firefox
      • => Firefox 10.0
    2. cd /usr/lib/firefox-10.0/plugins
    3. sudo ln -s /usr/java/jre1.6.0_30/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so
  4. Restart Firefox
  5. Go to "about:plugins" in the Location bar to confirm that the Java Plugin loaded.

Good luck!
