In the directory firefox-3.0.7  create a directory

    plugins

Find the library

    libnpjp2.so

in Sun's jre folder and create a link between it and the Firefox
plugin folder.

Restart firefox, and check

    Tools/Add-ons/Plugins

- you should see the library but it may be disabled.

Enable it and disable  the "GCJ Web Brower Plugin" and it
should work.
