It took me ages to find out where firefox was getting the path of the plugin from: it turns out there's a link in /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins rather than somewhere under /usr/X11R6/lib/firefox. This seems to imply that every browser is expected to use the same plugin version, which would cause problems! Firefox still crashes when I go to Slashdot, but that's probably not because of Java... -- Richard
