And that doesn't work, even after I downloaded and install jre-6u19, I has 
6u18 before, and restarted FF.

FWIW, although the libjavaplugin.so is simlinked all the way back to 
/usr/java/latest/lib/libjavaplugin.so, and the simlinks are all reported as 
good my both mc and ls -l, it doesn't show in the FF about:plugins

The video tuts work just fine though.

What does this application do, and why should I be concerned that it cannot 
detect the latest jre available as being installed?
