[ale] Java with Firefox on FC3

[James Sumners]

What JRE package did you download? Sun's? If so, what version? If it
is version 1.5, 5.0, whatever they call it, you need to link to the
plugin in the 'ns7' directory not 'ns7-gcc295' or 'ns6-gcc31'.

Also, make sure you are linking the plugin in the proper directory. If
you link it in '~/.mozilla/plugins/' then any version of mozilla will
pick up the plugin.

pathological personalities. It is not that power corrupts but that it
is magnetic to the corruptible. Such people have a tendency to become
drunk on violence, a condition to which they are quickly addicted."
