Java and Firefox is no go!
hi,
I'm getting realy realy realy angry! :mad: every time there is an update for firefox my Java doesn't work anymore. so I create another symbolic link from the java plugin: ln -s /usr/java/jre1.5.0_02/plugin/i386/ns7-gcc29/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.3/plugins or: ln -s /usr/java/jre1.x/plugin/i386/ns660-gcc29/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.x/plugins/i386/ns660-ggc29/ the second one allways worked for firefox 0.10 and firefox 1.0 now when I tried it on firefox 1.0.x it won't even start up or when I open a java applet my browser shuts down. Firefox is/was making me mad so I tried IE (with CXOffice) neither of them worked. I'm asking for a solution for my firefox because it's better than some silly windoze browser right ;) thnx for help |
Opera's a pretty good solution for me, I don't care much for Firefox...
|
opera is fine (exept for the ad :p ) and it made Java applets work... thank you :)
|
same thing happened to me ... but it works with few changes (using firefox 1.0.2, j2sdk1.4.2_08 on mdk 10)
try the following ln -s /usr/java/jre1.5.0_02/plugin/i386/ns7-gcc29/libjavaplugin_oji.so /home/yourhomedir/.mozilla/plugins goodluck |
Code:
#ln -s /usr/java/jre1.5.0_02/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.3/plugins/ |
Firefox and Java applets work fine now... thank you all :)

Just a brief note - I tried for ages installing the plugin in my default Firefox plugins directory, and it didn't work. But kiss_linux's suggestion about putting it in my home plugins folder works beautifully? I wonder why - did try fiddling with chmod in case it was a permissions problem, but didn't seem to be. Anyway, in case anyone's interested I'm using FC3 and Firefox 1.0.3.
Ta kiss_linux! :-) Jamie. |
