Fedora 12 firefox java plugin

jonaskellens · 06-30-2010, 03:27 AM

Hello.

Java is not working in Firefox.

Do I not have Java installed correctly ?

Code:

[root@jonas jonas]# ls -l /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
total 352
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root     39 2010-06-26 10:16 libflashplayer.so -> /usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root     34 2010-06-22 11:41 libjavaplugin.so -> /etc/alternatives/libjavaplugin.so

[root@jonas jonas]# ls -l /etc/alternatives/ | grep libjavaplugin
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 56 2010-06-22 11:41 libjavaplugin.so -> /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk/lib/i386/IcedTeaPlugin.so

Try http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp in Firefox to test Java support (just click on the "Verify Java Version" button).

Also, isn't there a folder /usr/lib/firefox-*/?

It seems I do not have the very latest version of Java.

No plugin-folder though...

Also make sure you have all the other proper Java programs and libs installed.

Sometimes more than one java is installed (as a system choice).. so you might want to view the: update-alternatives --config java, command, to see what is going on there.

OpenJdk is usually the best choice for me for my system java.. and I use gcj v. 0.92 in my mozilla broswers java,(ff and seamonkey).

Also make sure you have only one java plugin installed, even if it doesn't show up in your about

lugins.

I'm not sure about fed, but in debian the 64 bit version of the plugin needs to be manually installed... but I'm not sure.. it's been awhile since I'v had to mess with it... either way, in debian it (libgcjwebplugin.so) gets placed in:
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/

Code:

[root@jonas jonas]# update-alternatives --config java

There are 2 programs which provide 'java'.

  Selection    Command
-----------------------------------------------
*+ 1           /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk/bin/java
   2           /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.5.0-gcj/bin/java

about plugins shows :

IcedTea NPR Web Browser Plugin (using IcedTea6 1.8 (fedora-39.b18.fc12-i386))

File name: IcedTeaPlugin.so
The IcedTea NPR Web Browser Plugin (using IcedTea6 1.8 (fedora-39.b18.fc12-i386)) executes Java applets.

Then try what I suggested.. unless/until someone with Fedora experience suggests otherwise.
