Hi
I think midori does not support java plugin .
I got 3GB packages iso since I don't have internet connection .
Installed firefox 3.5.7 (does not matter if it is old ) . Worked ok except http://java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp says 'something is wrong . java not working.'
What should I install ?

Though I have installed java-jre from dvdbox
'java -version' says

java version "1.6.0_0"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.6.1) (build 1.6.0_0-b16)
OpenJDK Server VM (build 14.0-b16, mixed mode)

Still I get 'something is wrong . java is not working' in firefox .

Iced Tea 6 won't work. You need the real java provide by the get-java6-jre package, which is a meta-package that downloads the real java from Oracle's site.

Finally I had to ditch idectea6 (jre & jdk did not help) .
I had jre-6u29-linux-i586.bin
I did as follows
[code]
cd <folder-having-jre-bin>
./jre-6u29-linux-i586.bin
#a folder jre1.6.0_29 will get created
mv jre1.6.0_29 /usr/java
#Now create a link in firefox installation directory as follows
cd /usr/lib/firefox-3.5.7/plugin
ln -s /usr/java/jre1.6.0_29/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so
[/code]

Now testjava link says 'your java is working . java update available.'
