====== Firefox_and_Java_Plugin ======

====== Install Firefox on Debian ======
This is the easy part.
 apt-get install mozilla-firefox

====== Install Java Plugin for Firefox on Debian ======
Download Java as per instructions already outlined here: [[Sun_jdk]]

Test to see if java works (or exists) - type:
 java -version

If you simply downloaded the tarball of the jdk1.5 - test with:
 /home/user/jdk1.5/bin/java -version

To link the java binary so it can be accessed anywhere:
 ln -s /home/user/jdk1.5/bin/java /usr/bin/

**To link the Java Plugin for Firefox:**
 ln -s /home/user/jdk1.5/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so ~/.mozilla/plugins/
 <nowiki>//</nowiki>the above mozilla settings is on a per user basis, hence linking the file to ~/

I hope it works for you!
