Handbook section 6.2 Browsers contains a few sections about how to setup Java
and other plugins in various browsers.

Firefox and Chromium (among others) no longer support NPAPI plugins like Java,
so these instructions are no longer valid.

I think you can still use the icedtea-web package to run downloaded Java Web
Start applications manually, which should be explained in this section.
