CentOS 5 :: Can't Get Java On Firefox / Make It Possible?
Mar 16, 2010
I need to get Java working on Firefox. I read some instructions that had one create a link in .mozilla/plugins, to a java library, so I did. When I load a website with Java on it, I still get the message about needed to install a plugin. Not sure what is up. I wouldn't care so much, but I have some equipment that has a Java web interface that I need to configure. If I can't get Java working on Firefox, then that is a problem. I've put the link I created in the plugins dir below.
I'm running Centos 5.3. Here is the uname output code....
After upgrading java (jre) to 1.6.0_19, the java plugin no longer loads into Firefox. All the rest of my plugins from /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ load fine.Java can be a pain such a pain the neck!
OS: CentOS 5.4 x64 I give up. How do I get Java to work with 64 bit Firefox (yes Java is installed)?
in 32 bit, it is <code>ln -s /usr/java/latest/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/.</code> I can not even find a libjavaplugin_oji.so in x64!
I have tried everything I can think of to get the Java plugin working on Centos 5.5 and Firefox.I'm using the sun version of Java that I downloaded: jdk-6u18-linux-i586.rpm
I do have it installed already on a seperate partition that survives OS upgrades. Do I need to have the same version of Java in my alternatives dir, or will the Java browser plugin work regardless of which Java is installed on the system? Another way of expressing this: Is the Java browser plugin a standalone application that works independently of the system-installed Java version, or does the browser plugin rely on the installed JRE to function? So I have made a symbolic link from /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/@libjavaplugin_oji.so
There are actually 2 versions of the Java plugin - which one should I be using?
/ns7 /ns7-gcc29
I take it it's the non-gcc29 version? When I restart Firefox nothing is showing in the about :plugins window.I have disabled all the other mozilla plugins, just in case they are stopping the the Java plugin from loading.
get the java plugin to work with either firefox or chromium on a Centos 5.6.I have created the symbolic links in what I think are the proper directories, but nothing. about :plugins shows zippo.I am running Centos 5.6
My firefox can't auto install java runtime evnviroment. I have try manual download at http://java.com/en/download/linux_manual.jsp?locale=en&host=java.com (Linux x64), and I have set up it follow intruction. But it is not effect. My contribution: Centos release 5.6(Final) Molliza: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.2.17) Gecko/20110429 CentOS/3.6-1.el5.centos Firefox/3.6.17
Code: ~ $ /usr/java/jre1.6.0_25/bin/java -showversion Error occurred during initialization of VMjava/lang/NoClassDefFoundError: java/lang/Object
That's the error I get. When trying to run a java app with the firefox plugin, the browser simply crashes if it's the 64bit java or tells me it's not installed if it's the 32bit version.
I'm at a loss as to what to do. I think it has something to do with leftover gunk from a previous version I misinstalled(Is that even a word?) Anyway, the only thing that google could come up with was a solution for windows which laid blame on Bill Gates for having a bunch of pf (java prefetch) files stuffed into c:windows for no apparent reason. The solution was to delete them, but I can't seem to find the java prefetch folder in linux. The method I used is downloading the rpm from java.com the rpm2tgz then installpkg then cp libnpjp2.so to firefox plugins folder.
I use openSUSE 11.4 64 bits, KDE and FireFox 5.0. I regularly update. When trying to reach my bank, I get the following error: Code: icedteanp plugin error: Failed to run /usr/lib64/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk/jre/bin/java. For more detail rerun "firefox -g" in a terminal window. Is there anything I can do to remediate ? Does IcedTea everything that Java does?
Today, I try to update firefox by Package Updater but show error by bellow. "Missing Dependency: xulrunner >= 1.9.0.19-1 is needed by package firefox-3.0.19-1.el5.centos.x86_64 (CentOS5updates)"
since ubuntu's decided that firefox needs to have their strange and weird theme for the buttons... what's the easiest way to remove this new way that it decides that the button configuration for when you want to close it and other things? I cannot seem to find this file, and i've already tried to delete my .mozilla file and i've installed swiftfox and it's using it. So where in the world did the Ubuntu UI people put this thing at?
Debian Squeeze 32bit. I uninstalled Iceweasel. I downloaded Firefox from their website. It is the complete folder and I have it in my /home/mydir/firefox. I have Flash installed just fine. The problem is java. I have sun-java6-jre installed but I am not sure what I need to link to the Firefox plugins folder to get java to work.
Has anyone here gotten the Sun Java plugin (1.6.0_20) working in Firefox under F13? I'm using the Firefox 3.6.3-4 RPM supplied by F13, and I created the link in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins to ${JAVA_HOME}/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so as I've always done, but the plugin fails to show up when I check the plugins in Firefox. I installed some other plugins in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins and they work fine, only Java doesn't work. It's weird because I've never had a problem getting the Java plugin to work in Firefox before this, and I've done it a million times.
I don't have the Fedora-supplied java packages installed, so it's not a issue of conflicting plugins. And the plugin does work in Opera. I also tried the 1.6.0_18 plugin from Sun, and that didn't work in Firefox either, though it works in F11. I can't figure out what's causing this just in F13. So far this is the only problem I've had in F13, everything else has worked great.
I'm trying to install Java on Firefox 3.6, and the instructions tell me to go to the Plugins sub-directory of the directory containing Firefox. Problem is, that sub-directory does not exist!
I can't get Java to work on Firefox.Woops I did not notice the title. Well put it simple I want to play RuneScape, but I don't think I have Java and don't know how to get it running on Fedora.
I recently found out that my Firefox 4 plugin for Java is not working. My problem is that i have Java installed (unfortunately I found out that I accidentally installed the Sun Java and not the OpenJDK) and it is working, but the plugin just refuses to work.
However it should be installed because of the following output:
Code:
So I thought that maybe the wrong Java version is used, but it doesn't seem to be so:
Code:
There are 4 programs which provide 'java'.
So in theory OpenJDK should be selected and work with Firefox, unfortunately it doesn't.
I downloaded Firefox 3.6 from the Mozilla website, and installed Java Runtime and Java Browser Plugin from Ubuntu Software Center, but Java will not work within Firefox, it works with Firefox 3.5.7 installed from the repositories, but I really want to use Firefox 3.6. I've even tried UbuntuZilla, without any success. This is annoying as I visit a lot of Java enabled websites.
Problem : Cannot get Firefox to work with Java Firefox version : 3.6 Firefox Plugins : Java not showing in Firefox plugins Operating system : Ubuntu 9.10 (Linux) Java install :
Instruction : I have tried to follow the instruction from the lnks but still cannot get it to work.
Right now I'm running Firefox 3.6.4. In ~/.mozilla/plugins I have a link to the Java plugin. I'm using Java version 6 update 20.
For some reason, Firefox will not acknowledge that I have the Java plugin installed. It won't show up under Add-ons > Plugins, and if I go to a web page that requires Java, it says I don't have it installed.
I've even moved my ~/.mozilla/firefox directory, allowing Firefox to create a new empty preferences directory, and Java still won't show up.
However, Java shows up just fine in Firefox 3.5. How do I get Java enabled?
I opened Firefox, and tried to use an Internet speed tester that requires Java. I've always used this with no problems. Today, I'm having problems with it. It told me to check that my Java plugin was enabled, or whatnot. I looked at Tools > Add-Ons > Plugins, and found that Java is gone....
What's up with that? I'm using the latest version of Firefox (version 3.6.8 / Mozilla Firefox for Ubuntu cononical - 1.0) on Ubuntu 9.10.
I checked with Synaptic Package Manager, and I found sun-java6-jre, and all of it's related packages, openjdk-6jre-* packages, etc. were installed (over ten packages with 'java' or 'jre' and '6' in the package names).
So, I don't understand why Tools > Add-Ons > Plugins doesn't show my java plugin anymore. I also checked about: plugins (had to put a space between the colon and 'plugins' because a smiley shows up aboutlugins), but there was nothing in there about java either.
What's going on? Has Ubuntu decided it doesn't want to use Java (I remember reading something about Oracle changing the license for Sun Java somewhere)? Or is this a fluke?
Either way. Synaptic Package Manager says Java is installed... So, what else do I need to do to fix this? I read other posts about Firefox and Java, but they were about installing java, and the like, and I have Java installed....
