Perhaps I shouldn't be doing this at all, and there is a better solution, but
I am open to all suggestions.
I have a 64 bit installation of 8.10. I installed Firefox from mozilla.com in
/opt. Presumably it installed 32 bit Firefox. Now it can't find java.
I also installed OpenOffice 3 from the PPA, and being 32 bit, it wants 32 bit
java.
I suppose I have two alternatives. (1) install 32 bit java, or (2) remove
Firefox and OpenOffice and download and install the 64 bit versions.
Recommendations and a 32 bit java howto appreciated.
