Getting the firefox plugin for java to work

[happypandaface]

I have completely install java onto my computer, so I can run jars and compiler java files. But java still doesn't work in firefox. I've tried to follow some guides I found which required putting a symbolic link in mozilla/plugins here: How do I download and install Java for my Linux computer? - 1.5.0, 6.0 I found the file they were talking about on my computer: /usr/java/jre1.6.0_07/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so. I have three different mozilla folders mozilla, mozilla-firefox, and mozilla-snapshot, so I'm not sure which one.

Try the following,

#ln -s /usr/java/jre1.6.0_07/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/.

If that does not help, try creating the link in the mozilla-firefox/plugins directory.

Ok, something weird happened. I made that link that you were talking about, and I linked it the lib in my jre1.6.0_7 directory. But when I went to the java test page:
How do I test whether Java is working on my computer? - 1.4.2_xx, 1.5.0, 6.0
And it said I had java version 1.6.0_6 working on my computer. So I deleted the link I had made in the plugins folder. Then reloaded the page. It showed the same thing, java 1.6.0_6. After testing a few things I found that the plugin firefox is using for java is:
/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.06/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
(I tested this by renaming this file then restarting firefox to see if java worked.)
The problem now is that I want to be able to update my Java manually. Especially right now to upgrade it to 1.6.0_7.
I'm not sure how firefox is finding this file now. I need a way to find these links, but I don't know how. Ubuntu's search function does not find links.
