Default All about Firefox about Protocol.

Today I found some interesting hack about Mozilla/Firefox. I am in need of java in my Ubuntu machine.. I installed java, but I am not able to see any java related sites in my browser So when started searching for related topics, I found my answer how to check java is configured to your browser or not. I came to know about Firefox hidden “about protocol”.. Though my browser is showing java enabled(in preferences), but I am not able to see java content of site. The solution for this is to check whether java is configured properly to your browser or not.
So how to check whether java is configured or not?
Just open new tab in firefox and type aboutlugins
This should show all the plug-in’s installed for your browser.

Use the official java page
How do I test whether Java is working on my computer?
