I don't have a java plugin installed, but I do have the flash plugin
installed. When I went to a flash site I got that puzzle-piece icon.
Clicking on it prompted me to install the plugin. I said "ok" and was
redirected to Macromedia's download page. Then I clicked on the
"Download Now" button and save the linux_flash.tar.gz file to my
downloads directory (I have a directory ~/downloads where I download
stuff to, then move it where I really want it). I untarred it and as
root copied libflashplayer.so to /usr/share/mozilla/plugins (or
whatever the full path is, I'm not at a debian box right now).
Restart galeon and the plugin will be loaded. If you go to
"about:plugins" then you will see a list of all the registered
plugins.
