I used Midori as the browser dedicated to use FreeNet, and Midori does
not have an option to do about:config as a Mozilla-based browser does,
so I cannot check directly (at least, not as far as I know).
It seems your browser (Midori) is not recognizing the Java JRE
properly, so try to go to java test page [1] with Midori and see what
Java version is detecting.
Also, be sure that the browser supports the java plugin.

Thanks Camaleón
I went to the site and ran Midori, Epiphany and Iceape against it.
Iceape indicated that I needed to download and install a missing library
file jre-6u17-linux-i586.bin from
http://javadl.sun.com/webapps/download/AutoDL?BundleId=35675
No need to do that.
The "java test page" just tells you 2 things:
- If your browser detects "any" java plugin installed
- If the detected java plugin is the latest version available
In your case, I guess it is detecting the java plugin but just "warns"
you about the version you have installed. If that is case, ignore that
warning and do not download nor install anything from there.
Can you run FreeNet from Iceape?
No - not from:
Iceape
Midori
Epiphany
Opera
Iceweasel
This creates a further query: will this conflict with my sun-java6-*
installation if I installed it?
Yes.
I suspected as much.
But, if the response from Iceape is anything to go by, then the right
Java component is not installed.
You have to test it with Midori, the browser you are going to use to
launch Freenet.
I accept that. I was only suggesting that the response from Iceape
provided a clue.
BTW, what are the results of the java test page runned from Midori?
The dotted circle on the test page remains for over 60 seconds and then
defaults to the page that makes recommendations, seemingly not
recognising any of my java jre installation.
Thanks
