it doesn’t work 
the install manual says i have to paste the .so file into my firefox plugins folder
THERE IS NO PLUGINS FOLDER
i created one myself but like i expected, that didn’t work 
what do i do?
distro: openSUSE 11.0
check here
/usr/lib/browser-plugins
You are not _64bit are you?
wow. i messed up real good LOL
i found the folder and found flash plugins so i knew i was in the right spot. so i try to follow the java instructions which i must have read while having poop in my eyes…
cp javafile folder
don’t work… -> re-read manual
omg ofcourse! it’s “ln” and not “cp”
ln javafile folder
shell says something bout creating “hard link” so i’m like “great lets have a look” (i test it with trying to open runescape which is a game that uses java)
“java seems not to be installed and the applet cannot be run. click here to learn how to enable java in your browser”
so i go through the enabling steps with a lot of trouble because the preferences layout has changed since the manual was written and FINALLY i find that… java was already enabled… -> fail -> re-read manual
oh man… i forgot the -s parameter…
ln -s javafile folder
->WORK!
thanks man!! 
that worked 100% (at least if ur not a dummy like me ^^ )
ps: in total, enabling java took me about 3.5 hours
