firefox-javaplugin.so point to
/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-icedtea/jre/lib/i386/gcjwebplugin.so
miro use mozilla-javaplugin.so
this point to:
/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-icedtea/jre/lib/i386/gcjwebplugin.so
in ubuntu:
sudo update-alternatives –config java
and select sun java.
after:
cd /etc/alternatives

sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.03/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so firefox-javaplugin.so
duplicate firefox:
sudo cp -r /usr/lib/firefox /usr/lib/miro
after:
cd /usr/lib/miro/plugins
after
sudo ln -sf /etc/alternatives/mozilla-javaplugin.so libjavaplugin.so
