install java plugin firefox

New ubuntu installation; how do I install the java plugin for firefox?

If you want Sun Java's plugin, just go into software sources and enable the partner repository, then search for java plugin and install via Synaptic. I would imagine it also shows up in the Ubuntu Software Center, but I've never installed it that way.

I make a point of always adding the Sun Java plugin because the open java plugin does not work as well in some of the sites I use.
