I am using Firefox. Java is enabled, or at least entering some Java
commands without parameters bring up a message to enter with --help,
which yields a listing.

I have found that libjavaplugin_oji.so is present in the same directory
as the flash plugin, which appears to be working at present. Does that
mean I don't need to add it to my path? If I do need to add it, do you
mean the one accessed by $PATH or something else? I don't know how to
get to one that's just for the browser.
