[SOLVED] Slackware Linux + Internet Banking + Java + Firefox

mlangdn · 08-31-2013, 12:07 PM

I have the same problem with one banking site. I wanted to order new checks and FF was dead in the water on this one. I have the latest Opera browser, so I tried it. Worked just fine in -current. I use openjre from AlienBob - not the slackbulid from extra. Don't know why and I don't want to figure it out. Opera will work so FF may be going by the wayside.

I'm now marking this issue as solved after installing Slackware64 14.1 and some configuring:

Slackware64 14.1 (fresh install)
Java64 1.7.0_45 (from java.com)
Firefox64 25.0.1 (from Mozilla, not Slackware)

I also had to do the following commands (my banking didn't work just by installing Slackware64 14.1):

# mkdir -p /etc/.java/.systemPrefs
# chmod -R 755 /etc/.java/

Now my internet banking is working again.

Phew!
