I installed java pet-package and it's in Seamonkey but not in Firefox 3.6. How to make it works also in FF 3.6?

I have Puppy 4.2.1. I installed java first and later FF. 3.5.7. Later it was updated to 3.6. Flash and all other plugins are OK there. Not java.

Is there any chances to get drivers for Puppy Linux 4.2.1. My graphic card is Nvidia Geforce 9500 GT.

Hope it's a Pet package - automatically installed. Puppy didn't look very good by editing xorg.conf. Fonts are tiny and blurry.
