I don't have /usr/lib/mozilla-cvs/plugins/ either but...
As I am running Openoffice, I wanted to install Java but the debian
version, 1.4.0.99beta-1, didn't work. I downloaded
j2re-1_4_2-linux-i586.bin from the sun site and -it- did work in
Openoffice. When I told Firebird where javaplugin_oji.so was, it also
worked.
:-) HTH, YMMV, HAND :-)
