Should I move everything from that jre1... directory to > /usr/java/? You need to symlink the libjavaplugin.so file to your mozilla plugins directory. I suspect that you already have a file /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin.so pointing to the icedtea version of the plugin, via the /etc/alternatives/libjavaplugin.so If you wish to consume the Sun's plugin, then you need to remove this file and create a symlink to the Sun's plugin ln -s /usr/java/jre1.*/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so . Now restart firefox and you should see the new plugin take effect. On the other hand, I would really appreciate it if someone can tell me how to use the alternatives to pick up the Sun's environment. thanks, Rogue -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFHRbM3ceS9IQvx51YRAtB9AJ9Y8A8V/JSZ1xxithKNVnmOgyDMvgCdF7BF X5Q8GR3FxlNmslFfZv3O5qA= =cKHP -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
