Activate Java plugin


Hi,

The JDK package is installed on my system, but it looks like the corresponding Firefox plugin is not activated. Anyone knows how I can activate it?

Cheers,

Niki

You can check the slackbuild script. It was disabled for security reason

Looks like Mozilla has removed the java options from the Firefox setup/preference page, not so for SeaMonkey (yet).
The java plugin should be enabled by default.
Go to, about:config and type java in the search bar.

One of my clients needs it for testing purposes on his workstation. On mine, it's not active.
