This is a little off the topic, specifically, but I have been struggling 
with java, and other (flash) plugins and firefox myself. I have very 
much the same information as has been discussed in this thread in 
/usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins:

total 0
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel   0 Jul 23 08:59 .firefox.keep
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  49 Sep 14 06:35 flashplayer.xpt@ -> 
/usr/X11R6/lib/linux-flashplugin7/flashplayer.xpt
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  51 Sep 14 06:37 libflashplayer.so@ -> 
/usr/X11R6/lib/linux-flashplugin7/libflashplayer.so
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  78 Sep 14 07:07 libjavaplugin_oji.so@ -> 
/usr/local/linux-sun-jdk1.4.2/jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so

However, when I use the about:plugins page, it comes up essentially 
blank, giving me only the information links about instaling plugins, 
etc. I have been working under the assumption that I've done something 
incredibly stupid, and attempting to find my error on my own, and have 
the sinking feeling that it's probly staring me right in the face, and 
I'm just too blind to see it. Do either of you (or anyone else for that 
matter) have any advice or hints here, or does this seem as strange to 
you as it does to me?
