 +1. Exit Firefox.

 +3. Create a symbolic link to the Java Plugin in the Firefox plugins directory. 
 +
 +<code>
 +# cd /usr/local/src/firefox/plugins
 +# ln -s /usr/java/default/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so .
 +</code>
 +
 +4. Start Firefox
 +
 +5. Open about:plugins in the URL address bar to verify Java is now seen in the browser.
 +
 +6. Test with a Java verification page from java.com as necessary.
