[nflug] Firefox and jre

[Joe]

Firefox runs from a desktop icon that points to

/home/bigbird/installs/firefox/firefox

I know that's not cool, but the last few releases of Firefox and 
Thunderbird gave me trouble when I tried to install them system wide, so 
I just installed them for me since I'm the only user anyway.

And,

bigbird /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins: $ls -l
total 432
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           39 Apr 24  2003 
libflashplayer.so -> /usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so*
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           64 Oct 15 13:22 
libjavaplugin_oji.so -> 
/usr/java/jre1.5.0_02/plugin/i386/ns7-gcc29/libjavaplugin_oji.so*
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root        20864 Jul 29  2005 libnullplugin.so*
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root        22192 Sep 10  2003 mozplugger.so*
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root       240774 Sep 23  2003 mplayerplug-in.so*
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root       138127 May 11  2003 
mplayerplug-inso.old*

was already this way (a little old, but should have worked, at least 
somewhat).

Anyway, I updated it to the latest:

root /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins: $ls -l
total 432
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           39 Apr 24  2003 
libflashplayer.so -> /usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so*
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           86 Apr 15 19:14 
libjavaplugin_oji.so -> /home/bigbird/installs/java 
jre/jre1.5.0_06/plugin/i386/ns7-gcc29/libjavaplugin_oji.so*
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root        20864 Jul 29  2005 libnullplugin.so*
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root        22192 Sep 10  2003 mozplugger.so*
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root       240774 Sep 23  2003 mplayerplug-in.so*
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root       138127 May 11  2003 
mplayerplug-inso.old*
root /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins: $

Just for the heck of it, I ran mozilla 1.7.11 and it fails the test as 
well now.
