The Java plugin doesn't work anymore in Namoroka: As usual, I have a symlink in the firefox/plugins directory that points towards the Java library. I was using JRE 1.6.0 update 12, so I upgraded to update 16 and same results. You can notice this when typing about:plugins in the location bar, and sites that need it don't work. I can't say since when this happened as I don't often use sites that need Java plugin. Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; fr; rv:1.9.2a2pre) Gecko/20090903 Namoroka/3.6a2pre

i have the same problem. i use ubuntu and namoroka nightly. i have installed sun-java6-jre from the repositories and up until know it worked fine with firefox. i also have a symlink in the plugins/ folder. the bug exists at least since monday, 26.10.2009. that was the first time i notices, that it didn't work.

(In reply to comment #2) > java worked with 3.5.5 > it no more works with 3.6b1 or 3.6b2 Confirmed. Still broken in 3.6b3 while it works fine in 3.5.5 using Java jre1.6.0_17.

What is the name of the symlink in the plugins/ folder? What is the result of running "readlink -f" on that symlink?

That looks like bug 485984, then. I think you'll find that a link to /usr/local/java/jre1.6.0_17/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so will work fine. Perhaps we should release note this.

(In reply to comment #6) > That looks like bug 485984, then. Yeah, I just realized that when I pasted the symlink in my previous comment. > I think you'll find that a link to > /usr/local/java/jre1.6.0_17/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so > will work fine. Yes, it's working fine now. Forgot to update the symlink when upgrading to 3.6 beta.

Not working at all. Although the plugin "Java(TM) Plug-in 1.6.0_17" appears in the plugin list after creating the symlink to "libnpjp2.so" (/usr/java/jre1.6.0_17/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so) in the plugins folder, the plug in does not work.

Not working for me either. I created the symlink as per karlt: sudo ln -s /opt/java/jdk1.6.0_17/lib/i386/ibnpjp2.so libnpjp2.so and I don't even see it in the plugins list :-( I'm running Firefox 3.6b5 on Ubuntu 9.10.

never mind - bad symlink...working now - sorry about the false alarm.
