Firefox java plugin for FC3 64bit
I need some help getting java to work with my FC3 64bit OS. I found that blackdown is supposed to be compatible with it but after I installed the j2re and went to a java page it closes firefox. Anyone implement the java plugin with firefox on a 64bit Linux OS successfully?
Please help. |
Have you considered using a 32 bit firefox? Or does the idea hurt too much? A lot of 64 bit users do this(myself included), as Sun Java, Flash etc are not available 64 bit......

It requires giving up 64-bit Firefox for 32-bit Firefox, but it's about the only way. I couldn't get blackdown64 to work either. |
Ah yeah!
Thank you guys so much, switching to the 32bit version did it. Thanks again! |
I refuse to make that surrender. As long as Sun will not release a 64-bit plugin, I can live without java in Firefox. If I need to use java in a browser Konqueror works fine without the plugin.

really?
After lossing my java with suse and not being able to get mandriva to fly either I got ubuntu 7.0 installed the java using synaptic. Firefox 64 bit runs most java applets but not all. Konqueror I can get the java verified, but it won't run any, java at all. Finally got Konqueror to run had to link it to the right folder.
The java verification said I could download the newest version, are they wrong? Or don't they know that my version is a 64 bit? Or maybe there is a 64bit version for a 64bit firefox? |
