Icons are located at:
/home/<username>/firefox/chrome/icons/default
(assuming that you've used '/home/<username>' as the path. So when you
Applications|Edit Menus|Internet|Firefox 3.6 (or whatever you've named

$ locate libnpjp2.so
$ mkdir /home/<username>/.mozilla/plugins/
$ cd ~/.mozilla/plugins/
$ ln -s <path to libnpjp2.so>
$ ln -l
and the last command should show your link.

Example for the last; I have jre version 18 installed in /usr/lib/jvm.

$ ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/jre1.6.0_18/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so

:~/.mozilla/plugins$ ls -l
