Thread: Java works in Konqueror but not in Firefox


the java runtime environment works in konqueror not in firefox. i've tried reinstalling both jre package , firefox package. i've tried enabling , disabling java , javascript in firefox. know can work?

is sun's java or openjdk? think firefox 3.5+ doesn't work openjdk's browser plugin (icedtea6-plugin), , solution "install sun's".

sun's browser plugin included in main sun-java6-bin package, if have jre, have installed. however, doesn't "install" mozilla plugin unless install sun-java6-plugin package. so, make sure it's installed. if , still doesn't work, reconfigure package let reassert itself.
code:
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure sun-java6-plugin
also, check about:plugins in firefox make sure it's not listed there , you're experiencing firefox bug. (the 1 mentioned 1 grey box , 100% cpu use, no applets.)

have @ /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/. there should symbolic link there - in lieu of libjavaplugin.so points /etc/alternatives/mozilla-javaplugin.so in turn points /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so. can verify either in terminal or via dolphin/konqueror. link sun-java6-plugin package sets up.

small note, route symlinks take differs between releases (read: version of sun-java6-plugin installer script), there *needs* link in plugins/ directory *eventually* ends @ /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so, or won't work. further confusion, filename different if you're on 64-bit installation. plugin package should take care of that.

if don't trust set link you, yourself.
code:
$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin.so
then test here.
