Fedora Users — Re: Java and Firefox/Mozilla

My mozilla wasn't working until I read this mail!

Every time that I tried to see a webpage with an applet mozilla crashed. maybe because:
- The file in plugin directory was NOT a link. I copied it. Now with a link it works.
- I had the file in /usr/lib/mozilla-xxx/plugins and in ~/.mozilla/plugin. Now it is oly in /usr/lib... and works.

Maybe it help you.

bye bye

I am having extreme difficulty trying to get the java plugin to work in
Fedora Core 1 in Mozilla or Firefox.  I have tried the following:

1.  Downloaded a Java2 RPM, and downloaded J2RE from Sun, neither plugins
they provided worked. 2.  Made a link from the plugin libjavaplugin_oji.so
into the plugins directory for Mozilla and Firefox, keeps telling me that
it is not installed 3.  did a ln -s instead of using the menu to make a
link, did not work.

Once upon a time i got this to work on a Core 1 machine, but i forget how i
finally did it.  i remember i downloaded a java plugin from yet another
website, and for some reason theirs worked.  does anyone have any ideas
here ?

Java seems to be working for me.

In "/usr/local/firefox/plugins", I have the following link

libjavaplugin_oji.so 
-> /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_03/jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so
