Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox
In Linux, one normally adds java plugin capability by establishing a symbolic link from the firefox "plugins" directory to the JRE shared library:
$ cd <Firefox>/plugins
$ ln -s <JRE>/lib/
But the 4.0 beta doesn't have a "plugins" directory - but all the online help documentation on how to get java applets working in Linux still refers to that directory.
