After 5 hours of struggle Java works in FireFox

[TopDog]

I was in the same boat last week... followed different kind of howto's I
found... resulting in everything from nothing, to firefox crashing.

What resolved it in the end, was 'this thread'
(http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=3713&highlight=java). I'm
now running Java 1.4, but I don't think I dare to try using 1.5
yet...although it's installed.

I hope Mozilla can make it as easy installing JVM as they've done with
