Firefox-2 is part of hardy alright, its just not installed by default. I
for one have 2 options. Either plugins will work reasonable soon on
hardy's firefox-2, or i'll downgrade to Gutsy, simple as that.

So, if I start firefox-2 on a fresh hardy install, and hit a page that
needs Java, it pops up the prompt giving me a choise to install one of
the 4 java plugins. Java gets installed... and is not registered with
FF2, only with FF3B5.
