Then shut down firefox, and re-run it.Here's what I did, with jre in /opt [root@iam opt]# cd /usr/lib/firefox-2.0/plugins/ [root@iam plugins]# ln-s /opt/jre1.5.0_09/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so libjavaplugin_oji.so [root@iam plugins]# cd /usr/lib/mozilla-1.7.13/plugins/ [root@iam plugins]# ln -s /opt/jre1.5.0_09/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so libjavaplugin_oji.so [root@iam plugins]# cd ~/.mozilla/plugins/ [root@iam plugins]# ln -s /opt/jre1.5.0_09/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so libjavaplugin_oji.so This is using the jre1.5.0_09 bin. release, where I put the .bin file in /opt/ and executed it. That's all I have done to make it work. Didsimilar with flash only I copied the file to those locations.java.com is happy with my installation as well.

Hmmm, maybe I just located the problem?
[root@moe ~]# rpm -qa --qf '%{name}\t%{arch}\n' 'firefox*'
firefox i386
firefox x86_64
I've seen where there are 'issues' with the x86_64 version. Now to
decide what to do about it.
I know this is a dumb question, but how can one be married 'n.5' times? :-) Thanks, Mike --My sister opened a computer store in Hawaii. She sells C shells by the seashore.
