I want to be able to assign background and font colors to my work on Libre Calc. When i attempt to do so a popup says that i need to download a Java runtime enviorment to do this function. i search Java and find a download for Ubuntu which says "download with any method you want". I click on download and FF takes me to another window that says "choose the method of download". The trouble is I'm new to Firefox and don't know which method or how to proceed to download JRE.

You should be able to download the RPM installer from the Oracle website and install this version with the package installer assuming that this can be done on Ubuntu (I'm not familiar with Ubuntu).

See Java Platform > Java SE 7U45 (JRE Download)

Apparently Ubuntu is a simpler version of Linux. It is supposed to be well protected against virises. I dont know enough about computers and weather JRE download would work or not. i should do some home work before I do the download.
