I did a search on this and saw this seemed to be an old bug. I received an
email with two attachments: One a word document, the other a plain/text
attachment. Trying to preview this message induces the error above in
Thunderbird 1.0.2. The message layout (from Mutt) is:

Your Java plugin is incorrectly installed (symlink broken ?)

I thought Thunderbird wasn't supposed to use plugins? That's how I read the
previous tickets about this problem.

After doing a little Bugzilla mining, I applied the --disable-plugins to
the FreeBSD port .mozconfig template and all is well. If this is required
to get rid of this problem then why isn't it thrown by default in the
Thunderbird build?

"INTERNAL ERROR on Browser End: Could not get the JVM manager; System error?::
Unknown error: 0" is directly form a a Java plugin which failed to find the JVM.
The plugin calls exit() and that can't thunberird survive.
The reason for this must be that you have a broken JRE symlink in the plugin
directory or that you copied the JRE plugin.
That makes it invalid.
disabling the plugins via configure would be also a solution but that's not the
problem itself.

Throw me a bone here. Which plugin directory? Some system-wide place or in my
home directory? In a global Mozilla plugin directory or something specific to
Thunderbird? I only install ports via the FreeBSD ports system, so I don't
quite know how I could have removed anything. I accept what you say, but unless
you are more specific as to which plugin directory you're talking about, it's
like you're speaking German :)

I checked my .mozilla/plugins directory, I don't have a broken symlink. It
points to a valid Java shared library:
$ ll .mozilla/plugins
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 2 clint users - 512 Jan 28 08:23 ./
drwxr-xr-x 4 clint users - 512 Jan 27 20:02 ../
lrwxr-xr-x 1 clint users - 62 Jan 28 08:23 libjavaplugin_oji.so@ ->
/usr/local/jdk1.4.2/jre/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so
Is there something wrong with using this plugin?

Thunderbird 1.0.2 is certainly compiled with gcc 3. That mean that you need
i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so instead of the one you currently have.
But I think that if thunderbird doesn't run javascript by default, it should
*not* be running java either ? Should we change this bug to a request for
thunderbird not to run java applets in mail ?

Everything on my system, including the Java plugin, is compiled with gcc 3.4.2.

Here is a message from the Lout mailing list that throws Thunderbird into a

same crash and message here with yesterdays thunderbird (linux version 1.0+
(20050720)) on opening any mail on any account or starting to compose a new mail
- removing the link to the java plugin from ~/.mozilla/plugins makes the error
go away - the plugin works fine in the deer park alpha2 browser

Same here [1] on Tbird 1.0.2 for sparc solaris with the link to the Sun java
plugin in the plugins/directory [2]. I don't see any java in the mail message,
however trying to view it causes the Bird to barf. Can't attatch the message as
it contains proprietary content.

INTERNAL ERROR on Browser End: Could not get the JVM manager

I have also started to recieve crashes when selecting a message. (Linux)

javaplugin.so ->

Get this with Thunderbird 1.5b1 on Solaris/Sparc (built by me). My Tb 1.0.6 uses
the same setup (e.g. MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH) as Tb 1.5b1 without this crash.

we worked around this in 1.0.x. Joe won't like it but we may have to work around
it again in 1.5.

I was hoping more folks would have updated to the newer version of the java
plugin (which doesn't tell us to abort), but it looks like there are still a
lot of folks out there using this troublesome plugin.
This patch makes 1.5 do what 1.0 did, and that's to disable plugins in
Thunderbird.
I'd rather not check this into the trunk because I'm still hoping that most
users will end up with jvm1.5.0 or higher (which kindly doesn't tell our
process to abort).

I believe a lot of people still use Java 1.4 since it is default in Solaris 8
and 9. Solaris 10 is the first Sun OE to use Java 1.5 as default.

Fine by me but then it probably should be noted in the Release Notes somewhere
that it needs Java 1.5.
And how come Firefox doesn't have this problem?

probably because firefox has a jvm manager :)

disable plugins again like we did for 1.0
Ick. This error only happens on linux, right? Couldn't we do something less
severe like preffing plugins off, or preffing plugins off only on linux?

thanks for resolving this bug which resolved also my bug

Regression: reappearing in trunk build version 3 alpha 1 (20061008) on Linux.
Moving libjavaplugin_oji.so out of $HOME/.mozilla/plugins fixes it but deprives firefox off Java.
I don't have powers to reopen...

Had the exact same issue on beta 3.0.
INTERNAL ERROR on Browser End: Could not get the plugin manager
System error?:: No such file or directory
Fixed it by running 3.1 alpha1. Sweet!
