I don't like this approach, because it only works if the user had jdk
installed when installing mozilla. Ideally, Mozilla should just ignore
invalid plugins in its plugin directory or there should be a way to
change Mozilla's behaviour at runtime using environment variable (e.g.
`MOZILLA_PLUGINS=/foo/bar/plugin1.so:/foo/bar/plugin2.so').
