  • Download jre-6u14-linux-x64.bin jre-6u12-linux-x64.bin (hosted locally)
  • mkdir /usr/lib/jvm (might already exist)
  • sudo mv jre-6u14-linux-x64.bin /usr/lib/jvm/
  • cd /usr/lib/jvm/
  • sudo chmod a+x jre-6u14-linux-x64.bin
  • sudo ./jre-6u14-linux-x64.bin
  • sudo rm -r /usr/lib/jvm/jre-6u14-linux-x64.bin
  • sudo ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/jre1.6.0_14/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so /usr/lib64/firefox-addons/plugins/
  • killall firefox

    • Restart firefox,  it’s good to go.  Tested it with Wordle and GoToMyPC and didn’t have any issues at all – every other Java install method I’ve used hasn’t worked.

    Installed & tested on:  Ubuntu 8.10,  9.04,  9.10 Alpha 2
