farslayer-I can't quite understand the code. Sorry I am pretty much a beginner.
I did the about
lugin in the browser and there are many plugins. I can't see anything about Java but this is the flash stuff:
Shockwave Flash
File name: libflash-mozplugin.so
Flash Movie player Version 0.4.12 compatible with Shockwave Flash 4.0
Shockwave is a trademark of MacromediaŽ
GPLFLash homepage : gplflash.sf.net

Shockwave Flash
File name: libflashplayer.so
Shockwave Flash 9.0 r48

Yep I tried that page
http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml last night and it shows java is not installed as that green jigsaw symbol is present.
All the above is using the browser Iceweasel. Now I am having a look at what Konqueror gives me.

It says JRE is installed.
So maybe I should just use Konqueror but the only thing is I have always had trouble with Konqueror when using Ebay. When listing and editing listings. Specifically uploading pictures to the site. That is why I have been using Iceweasel because it worked for that.
