If you choose to iunstall java, the plugin doesn't get installed correctly. I
didn't find that on the release-notes-page after at least 5 times reading it. A
friendly guy on #mozilla @irc.mozilla.org then copy'n'pasted it for me.
If you know about such problems, you should propably make them better visual -
something like bigger font, red colour or anything compared to that. Would have
saved me plenty of time and lots of frustration with mozilla, which nearly lead
me  uninstall mozilla from every computer i'm servicing for in our LAN (100
machines that is).

PLEASE, do us and yourself the favour to HELP the people with such problems. 

Thanks a lot,
Dirk
