Fine tuning Firefox
Hey gang,
Okay, it's been a while since I asked one, so here goes... I use Firefox 7x, in the about : plugins page, it says plugin 1.7.0, it claims to be "The next generation Java plug-in for Mozilla browsers.", yeah sure. As described in the guide, you're supposed to make a symlink to the desired plugin...but Firefox ignores that. How to I make Firefox use the plugin I want it to use? After all, this is Linux, freedom of choice...plugins included... I'm ever so tempted to edit the pliuginreg.dat...but, is that clever? Thanks for some help Thor |
Do you still have the old plugin in the directory? Does it work if you move it out? Just guessing, here...

Actually 1.7.0 is the current version if you are using Openjdk and the icedtea-plugin.
$ java -version java version "1.7.0_147-icedtea" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea7 2.0) (7~b147-2.0-1) OpenJDK Client VM (build 21.0-b17, mixed mode, sharing) |
Ehrm...I should have posted this before:

This is what about : config has to say about it, but that is not being used... Quote:

And, your system is 32-bit, right ?
|
:doh:
oh, yes, 32 bit, sorry for not mentioning that... |
Well, it's solved in that I've installed JDK 7u1, and everything works, or at least gives the impression to do so...and not solved in that I still dont know how to tame Firefox, if that's at all possible...
Edit - thanks everyone!!! :) |
