Dear Linux Mint Users
I installed Linux Mint 14 about two months ago, and in all that time, Java and Adobe Flash haven't been working.
They are both installed, see the attached screenshots, but Firefox and Opera do not recognise them as being installed.
I feel like I have followed every online guide on how to install them, but to no avail.
I really hope someone here can help me.
Best Wishes
Lau

Do you have a java runtime environment installed?
eg. openjdk-7-jre
For running applets I think you need icedtea as well.

Thank you for your answers. Installing the codecs didn't change anything in terms of java and flash working.
I just installed openjdk-7-jre-lib, but that also didn't help. I am a little bewildered about what it could be. The Linux-experienced people at my office also don't know what it could be.
