GoToMyPC crashes FireFox

This is a technical question rather than a bug report.

You may have better luck with the SUN java packages..

Can you outline which SUN Java packages you have installed via this command in a terminal?

$ dpkg -l "sun-java*"

For example:-

alan@bishop:~$ dpkg -l sun-java*
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Installed/Config-f/Unpacked/Failed-cfg/Half-inst/t-aWait/T-pend
|/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)
||/ Name Version Description
+++-======================================-======================================-============================================================================================
un sun-java5-jre <none> (no description available)
un sun-java6-jre <none> (no description available)

(that's a machine that has no SUN Java installed).

How to install Java

To install sun-java6
Be sure all software sources are selected under menu: System->Administration->Software source: Ubuntu software

Then open a Terminal from the menu Applications->Accessories->Terminal and type:

sudo aptitude update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo aptitude install sun-java6-bin sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin

give your user password when requested, you don't see nothing when you type it, then press enter.

and then select this as your default java jre with

sudo update-java-alternatives

Hope this helps

I did all of the updates as suggested and installed the sun-java6-jre and sun-java6-bin with the package manager, then tried the plugin installation manually because I did not see sun-java6-plugin listed in the package manager. Then I tried updating my Java alternatives using the -a option.
