sun-Java6-plugin w/o Iceweasel?

[Marc Shapiro]

I have sun-Java6-plugin installed, as well as mozilla-mplayer.  Both 
seem to depend on Iceweasel, or Firefox.  I have Firefox installed from 
the mozilla website and do not want Iceweasel.  Iceweasel, however, was 
installed since aptitude knew nothing about the manual installation of 
Firefox.  When I run java programs that want to display html they try to 
run Iceweasel, which causes an error, since Firefox is always running on 
my box.  If I close Firefox and let it open Iceweasel then reopen 
Firefox later, all of my bookmarks are lost and I have to restore them. 
 Generally speaking, this is not working for me.  Is there a way to 
remove Iceweasel without removing sun-java6-plugin and mozilla-mplayer? 
 I suppose that I could remove Iceweasel, java and the mozilla-mplayer, 
then install java directly from a tarball from Sun, but that still 
leaves me without mozilla-mplayer.  Also, that leaves even more programs 
that aptitude does not know about, opening up even more potential future 
problems.  What is the best solution to this problem?
