Hi folks,
I just installed FC3 last night, got Firefox 1.0-6 via yum update. I then installed Java SDK 1.4.2_04 and symlinked /usr/java/j2 ... ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so to /usr/lib/firefox-1.0/plugins. I check about:plugins and the plugin appears to be loaded correctly. Whenever I try to load a page containing a Java applet, however, the browser crashes. I tried uninstalling Firefox 1.0-6 and going back to whichever version shipped with FC3, but to no avail; still crashes. I tried googling the problem but only got page after page of browser crashes due to people copying the plugin rather than symlinking it. Has anyone else seen this? Am I missing something rather obvious?
Cheers, J
You may have installed the wrong plugin version. In my case, Firefox is working well with the Java Plugin 1.5.0, but I Java to point it to: (note that it is *not* the ns7-gcc29/ folder, but just ns7)
/usr/java/jre1.5.0/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
in your case, you may have a file like: /usr/java/j2 ... ns6/libjavaplugin_oji.so
Try this one.
