try this...
 

try to use

/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_04/jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavapligin_oji.so

launch mozilla from console and see output error.

Search around here for a bit. There is a thread which speaks of a lib file or something that needs to be updated, after which everything miraculously works! I had all the same issues, everything seeemed to be installed, the browser even showed it in the plugins, but nothing worked. Until I found that thread...

I wish I could remember what the updated file was, so I could give yu a better string to search for. I think it started with lib, and had tow plus signs in the name (++). Search for that, you'll get it...

Good luck!

thankz fransemail, i've tried tht but still cant figure out wht the problem is.

hey jeffreybluml, thank you.......do ya have ny idea abt this lib update plz tell me if ya know it's been 3 weeks n still i cant get mozilla to view web pages
