Enabling Java in Firefox

[Robert R]

problem is that i have no clue where firefox is installed by default,

Can anyone help?

Enable and Configure

Firefox or Mozilla

To configure the Java Plugin follow these steps:

1. Exit Firefox browser if it is already running.
2. Uninstall any previous installations of Java Plugin.
   Only one Java Plugin can be used at a time. When you want to use a different plugin, or version of a plugin, remove the symbolic links to any other versions and create a fresh symbolic link to the new one.
3. Create a symbolic link to the libnpjp2.so file in the browser plugins directory
   
   • Go to the plugins sub-directory under the Firefox installation directory
     cd <Firefox installation directory>/plugins
   • Create the symbolic link
     ln -s <Java installation directory>/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so

Hi Robert R,

Firefox directory is generally
/usr/lib/mozilla/

Just cd to the directory and you can see there is a plugins folder in it.

You can also know the directory of mozilla by typing the following code in terminal

sudo find / -name 'firefox' -type d | more
