Ideally remove the icedtea browser plugin, using Apt, as I do, or Yum, or Smart.Your choice, but just get rid of the damned thing. As an alternative, go to to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins, and remove/delete libjavaplugin.so. I am presuming that you have Sun's JRE installed, and in which case before removing the libjavaplugin.so, you should have Firefox's about:plugins showing both the gcj stuff, and Sun's jre (libjavaplugin_oji.so). Having got rid of libjavaplugin.so (the gcj thing that don't work), restart Firefox, and run about:plugins. Hopefully you will only have the libjavaplugin_oji.so showing now, apart from your other plugins. Now try . http://www.jigzone.com, and if all's gone well you may be able to waste some time playing some interesting jigsaws. I'll be back. Nigel.
