Put a symlink pointing to the java plugin in the firefox plugins directory

The old -fashioned file, which doesn't work, would have been

..../jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so

the new one replacing it would be

..../jre/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so

In my case it's something like:

ln -s /usr/jdk/instances/jdk1.6.0/jre/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so
/usr/local/versions/firefox-3.6b1/firefox/plugins
