Bug Description

Firefox 3.6 is incompatible to the old Java plugin in the package sun-java6-plugin. I tried to use the recomended new one (link to libnpjp2.so), but the only results were crashes, when there's a java-applet on a webpage. After removing the link in the plugin folder, firefox runs as normal again but without java support.
