Which folder? i think there is 2 folders inside "plugins"... Saludos

Also, what are the permissions on the Java folder/file? Also, where'd
you get Java? how'd you install it?
I installed via apt-get install j2re1.4
And I just now uninstalled it and installed the latest version
downloaded from Sun, installing it to /usr/share/java/.
Have a look at http://mozilla.weebeastie.net/java.shtml Very useful
site which explains things clearl. Note that, for firefox (not sure
about mozilla) the link needs to go in
/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so. For the current
version of firefox you need to link to the ns610-gcc32 version.
I created the link in /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins/ via
ln -s /usr/share/java/j2re1.4.2_05/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/javaplugin_oji.so
It still doesn't work. And here is what I get with about:plugins
Installed plug-ins
