I am in need of some Help on Java & Firefox

[larry]

Hello Bhavani,

I did mention what my problem was in the text below to Dennis, which 
again is when I go too Yahoo's webwite, to play a POOL game it tells me 
that I am missing a plugin...

That plugin is JAVA, for which I have installed, using both Automatix2 & 
Synaptic, yet java is still not working for me...I have the latest 
version of Firefox 2.0.x installed too...

Easyubuntu, I thought that is was only for older versions of ubuntu not 
6.10...?

Now it's crazy, but I had know problem installing java in ubuntu dapper 
6.06, but I am sure having a problem in 6.10...

Thanks for the reply...

Larry
