How to remove symbolic links created in the plugins-map of firefox?
I have downloaded and installed the jre-6u26-
http://
Inside the plug-ins map of Firefox: cd /usr/lib/
I have created a symbolic link to the directory where Java is installed
ln -s /home/nielslnx/
I had to put sudo before it because the plug-ins map was owned by root. The symbolic link is not working but I am unable to open, edit or to remove it. Does anybody know how to make it work?

You can remove the symbolic link with:
sudo rm /home/nielslnx/

(1) Both openjdk-6 and sun-java6 are officially supported, and they are both official Java from Oracle America (formerly Sun Microsystems).
(2) If you only have one Java implementation installed (for example, just openjdk-6/icedtea6 packages, or just sun-java6 packages), that will be the default, and you will not have to do anything with update-
(3) If you choose to use sun-java6, you might consider using the version from the ppa:ferramrober
Important correction: I had said that you could remove the symbolic link with:
sudo rm /home/nielslnx/
But that will remove the target. To remove the link itself, run:
sudo rm /usr/lib/

Thanks for the answer. I have noticed that I had already tried to put links to alternative java plugins in both Firefox and Firefox 5.0 . I have removed them all by using a terminal and entering in the directories by cd /usr/lib/
Then I was able to create a working symbolic link inside Firefox but I got JAVA working when I created a symbolic link inside Firefox 5.0.
