So which deb package has the right npsqueak.so for firefox? When I tried the file http://www.impara.de/~jens/ubuntu/squeakland_3.8-4u_all.deb I got errors both installing and uninstalling (it said npssqueakregister was missing in both cases, I had to create a dummy file it could delete in order to uninstall it). Maybe I can just get the file I need from http://www.impara.de/~jens/ubuntu/squeakland_3.8-4u.tar.gz?
Err, I was just trying to explain why it worked in Mozilla and Firefox before, and now stopped working in Firefox but still works in Mozilla. If you do not know what linking libraries like libXt means, ignore that part.
Replacing the old npsqueak.so with the new one should be all that is required to make it work in Firefox again.

What is libXt?
That's exactly the problem - until very recently, both Mozilla and Firefox linked to libXt by default. Now Firefox does not anymore. So our new version links libXt directly into the squeak plugin. It should be sufficient to install the new plugin, and manually run npsqueakregister. Or even manually create the symlinks from npsqueak.so into your browser's plugins directory (that's all npsqueakregister does).

neither has it, in the squeakland image is only the platform independent image.
the plugin is in the squeak-vm package
http://www.impara.de/~jens/ubuntu/squeak-vm_3.7.7-6_i386.deb
it is the normal ubuntu package from the multiverse + the patch which fixes the plugin bug.
