I get the following message when I try to access my home PC from my Ubuntu laptop. "You need a Java-enabled browser to use the GoToMyPC Universal Viewer. To learn how to enable Java in your browser" I use Firefox 3.6 I don't have any issues else where Sun Java JRE is running and Firefox doesn't like the java add on it remove it after its added.

In Firefox 3.6 and later versions you need the Next-Generation Java™ Plug-In present in Java 6 U10 and later (Linux: libnpjp2.so; Windows: npjp2.dll).
