[Bug 111750] Firefox says no Java installed, but sun-java6-jre is installed

[Thomas Zander]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: mozilla-firefox

I went to a webpage and it claimed to need the Java Runtime Envirment. Which is strange since I installed suns jdk (and jre) yesterday.
I installed firefox today, just in case installation order matters.

Installed;
