When you install the Java platform, the Java plug-in file is included as part of that installation.

To use Java within Firefox, manually create a symbolic link from the plug-in file in the release to one of the locations that Firefox expects. To make the plug-in available to all users, you must create the link inside of the Firefox application's directory, in the plug-ins subdirectory. Alternatively, you can create the symbolic link in your home directory, in ~/.mozilla/plug-ins. In the remainder of this document, the text, Firefox plug-ins directory implies either of these locations.

Note:

For Firefox version 21 and later, you must create the symbolic link in your home directory, ~/.mozilla/plugins. However, creating the symbolic link in the plug-ins subdirectory of the Firefox application's directory is not supported in Firefox version 21 and later.

If you are using the classic plug-in file, which is located at ./plugin/i386/javaplugin-oji.so, then this file should no longer be used and all symbolic links to it must be removed.
