I just tried installing just the plugin and Firefox does crash when trying to view that website. I created a /usr/lib64/java-plugin/ directory, copied the file there, and linked from /usr/lib64/firefox-1.0/plugins/ I also tried adding the directory where I unpacked the files in the path (~/download/java64/j2re1.4.2/bin), but that did not help. Here is the output of running firefox and then navigating to the above website: $ firefox --verbose INTERNAL ERROR on Browser End: Exec of "java_vm" failed: 2 < System error?:: No such file or directory ** (Gecko:3990): WARNING **: Serious fd usage error 16 ** (Gecko:3990): WARNING **: Serious fd usage error 14 INTERNAL ERROR on Browser End: Could not read ack from child process System error?:: Resource temporarily unavailable I also have the deprecated libs packages installed. Running "java_vm" by itself gives an interesting result: $ java_vm java_vm process: could not find Java VM symbols I think I'll go back to 32-bit firefox for now. Jonathan
