Please start Mozilla Firebird from a terminal, and paste whatever error messages it gives.

I had a problem getting java to work with FB .7 also, but eventually found out that if you install java from http://java.sun.com it will give you about 3 plugins with either the jre or the sdk. Create a symbolic link to the plugin that is stored in /usr/java/<java_version>/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so. "<java_version>" is different for the jre and the sdk.

FYI, to create the link, go to the MozillaFirebird/plugins directory and type:

ln -s /usr/java/<java_version>/jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so libjavaplugin_oji.so
