Firefox Sun Java Plugin is not showing up in Firefox

[Ed Hewitt]

I have installed the following packages from Ubuntu Lucid Partner Repos:

- sun-java6-bin
- sun-java6-jre
- sun-java6-plugin

Java has successful installed, there menu entries such as the Java Control Panel is accessable.

However, if you load up Firefox 3.6, Java is not featured in the Firefox plugin's list. The plugin's list contains:

- DivX Web Player
- iTunes Application Detector
- QuickTime Plugin
- Shockwave Flash
- VLC Multimedia Plugin
- Windows Media Player Plugin
