[Bug 632633] [NEW] Java not enabled in "a web browser" / "web browser" no longer works.

[Becky Randelin]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Java not enabled in "a web browser" which seems to have replaced "web
browser" during the last updates. "a web browser" has a plain text page
icon.  Attempting to play webex now tells me that Java is needed.

Also, when I go to "a web browser"s "help"/"about web browser", this error shows:
XML Parsing Error: undefined entity
Location: chrome://browser/content/aboutDialog.xul
Line Number 40, Column 9:        &logoCopyright;
--------^

 And "web browser" no longer works. This is associated with the icon of the blue globe. Now clicking that simply errors with:
"Could not launch application  Failed to execute child process "abrowser" (No such file or directory)"
