Comment:
j2re1.4 1.4.2.02-ubuntu1 does not fix this bug. If I run epiphany from the
command line (without libxp6 installed), and then visit
http://www.anfyteam.com/, it crashes immediately with this error:

$ epiphany

plugin_get_value 2

libxp6 still needs to be installed to solve this, and it still isn't a
