I am trying to place it in the file directory so firefox can recognize it. When I open the terminal, it opens to my user name file directory tom @tom-t6524. Dir command shows the file directory. I cant seem to get to the parallel file directory. root/usr/lib/firefox to insert a link to the java file. I have typed su but it does not accept my password. I dont know why. I would appreciate any help. Thanks.
