[HELP] Java in Ubuntu

[radragon16]

Ok so I'm new to linux and I installed java and everything using the correct packages and even did it manually. I check my plugins in firefox and java 6 is there. YET when I try to load a java applet I get "Error loading applet" every time. Can someone help please?

Please post a few things.

1) A screenshot of your browser with the about: plugins page scrolled to the Java section. (do not put a space between the : and plugins. I had to because this forum replaced it with a :p)
2) the results of `ls -la $HOME/.mozilla/plugins` where $HOME is the full path to your home directory
3) The results of `ls -la $FF/plugins` where $FF is the full path to the folder where Firefox resides.


Those 3 things will help us determine what your browser thinks it has for plugins and what exact files your browser is using as it's plugins. Then we can take it from there.

So, umm, did you get this fixed, or just give up?
