I recently opted to give FreeNet a spin, downloaded the installer and

work.
I ran a quick check using update-alternatives --config java it showed
that I was already running sun-java6 and that this option was already
checked. Can anyone help me to understand why this may be the case? I
used Midori as the browser dedicated to use FreeNet, and Midori does not
have an option to do about:config as a Mozilla-based browser does, so I
cannot check directly (at least, not as far as I know).
It seems your browser (Midori) is not recognizing the Java JRE properly,
so try to go to java test page [1] with Midori and see what Java version
is detecting.
Also, be sure that the browser supports the java plugin.

Greetings,
Thanks Camaleón
I went to the site and ran Midori, Epiphany and Iceape against it.
Iceape indicated that I needed to download and install a missing library
file jre-6u17-linux-i586.bin from
http://javadl.sun.com/webapps/download/AutoDL?BundleId=35675
This creates a further query: will this conflict with my sun-java6-*
installation if I installed it?
But, if the response from Iceape is anything to go by, then the right
Java component is not installed.
