Title:
  icedtea-7-plugin no longer correctly configures plugin in firefox

Status in “icedtea-web” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After upgrading from 14.04 to 14.10, applets no longer work correctly
  in Firefox. Looking at the icedtea-7-plugin package, it no longer
  installs anything into the Firefox plugin directory:

  $ dpkg -L icedtea-7-plugin
  /.
  /usr
  /usr/lib
  /usr/lib/jvm
  /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64
  /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre
  /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre/lib
  /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre/lib/amd64
  /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre/lib/amd64/IcedTeaPlugin.so
  /usr/lib/mozilla
  /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
  /usr/share
  /usr/share/doc
  /usr/share/doc/icedtea-7-plugin
  /usr/share/doc/icedtea-7-plugin/copyright
  /usr/share/icedtea-web
  /usr/share/doc/icedtea-7-plugin/changelog.Debian.gz

  Please revert package install location behaviour to the same as 14.04,
  so that Java still functions correctly in Firefox when the plugin is
  installed.
