Did it ever occur to you to answer the question or keep your mouth shut?
   Dan, you can check about:plugins to see what you have installed.
IcedTea/OpenJDK, which is free and in Fedora repositories, will work for
some sites.  However, others still require the proprietary Sun Java

Please tell us what site you're trying to use and what you currently
have installed.
