Pages, and pages, and pages of stuff. However, no longer necessary to send it. Apparently I was trying to install a Java VM plugin a few days ago, and I was sleepy and tired, and it not only didn't work but also broke Mozilla in the process.
This one should be an easy one.. download the right version of java for you, and
ln -s /usr/java/j2re1.4.2_03/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/local/mozilla/plugins/
ensure you select the right mozilla/plugins dir and the right j2re directory.
You want to use the ns610-gcc32 for current versions of mozilla via rpm, or current compiled versions.. There is a different when using gcc 3.2 and newer.
Now, back to installing that blasted Java VM plugin. Clearly plugins are one area where either I'm clueless, or there's a great deal of improvement to be made.
They are fairly cut and dry for the copying or linking.. but on that same page, Plugins need to be easier for mozilla/firefox in general.. especially for the win32 users. Having to re-install them most of the time (Some plugins require to be installed system wide) when you upgrade isn't acceptable.
