Rosemary, You need to do the following: 1. locate the directory where are the Firefox's plugins (in my case, /home/psmith/firefox/plugins); 2. locate the file libjavaplugin_oji.so (in my case, it is in /usr/java/jre1.5.0_02/plugin/i386/ns7/); 3. cd to the directory found in 1; 4. finally, do: ln -s /usr/java/jre1.5.0_02/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so libjavaplugin_oji.so (Notice that you should replace /usr/java/jre1.5.0_02/plugin/i386/ns7/ with the appropriate directory for you.)
