Bug Description
When Firefox have to launch java, it don't find it and a pop up propose to download and install java, even if sun-java6-jre is already installed .
I use sun-java6-jre on Jaunty with Firefox 3.010. Sun-java6-plugin is needed but actually it is only suggested when you install sun-java6-jre: it should be a dependancy because it is a waste of time and a nightmare to find why java is not found.
