Installed FireFox v3.6.13 on a PC running a fresh Ubuntu 10.10 desktop.
Tried top access the ProxMox 1.7 GUI - basic HTML pages were okay. Tried to use the Console view for a Virtual machine on it. A popup was successful but blank. It appeared that Java was not installed and the new Java plugin is named IcedTea!
Steps to correct the situation if FireFox was installed thru the Ubuntu Software Center:
Close all firefox
FireFox v3.6.13 is installed in /usr/lib/firefox-3.6.13
