Thanks to both for replies. Results to date:
1. sudo update-java-alternatives --plugin --jre -a is the only
commanmd I can get to run without errors, but it doesn't solve things.
2. about:plugins says:
Tea-Web Plugin (using IcedTea-Web 1.2 (1.2-2))
File: IcedTeaPlugin.so
followed by a list of a lot of applications and Description: IcedTea,
Suffixes: class.jar.
I found the file IceTeaPlugin.so and copied it to ~/.mozilla/plugins,
but still no joy. The page I am trying to access keeps saying I must
have java enabled. The above entry from about:plugins seems to say I do,
but apparently not.
