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!
im using the Fedora 14 64Bit Version, and ive wanted to install the Java plugin for Firefox, but everytime Ive wanted to install it, it tells me this:
Code: [root@JaKsi JaKo]# /usr/sbin/alternatives --install /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin.so libjavaplugin.so.x86_64 /usr/java/default/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so 20000 failed to read link /usr/lin64/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin.so: No such file or directory the primary link for libjavaplugin.so.x86_64 must be /usr/lin64/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin.so [root@JaKsi JaKo]# Why lin64? Can I change this?
I am trying out the RHEL6 x86_64 beta. My question is how do I install the Java plugin for Firefox. OpenJDK appears to be installed, but there is no Firefox plugin for it in the "Add/Remove Software" program. I am not part of the RHN. Is it only in the RHN repos?
Is there a proper way to install 32-bit Firefox 3.5.11 with Sun Java 1.6.0 on 64-bit Lucid 10.04 Ubuntu? I want to run VMWare guest on Lucid and 64-bit Firefox 3.6.9 has issue with VMware.
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.
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.

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 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.
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!
I installed java applet for Firefox. It seems that I get the same message all the time "Install missing plugins". The path libjavaplugin_oji.so is located at:
How do I get java plugin to work in firefox 3.5.3 (default install of fc11 x86)64)? I removed the iced tea java completely. I installed the sun java rpm, but I cannot figure out where to link the plugin to. The firefox directory (listing below) has no plugins directory.
Recently fooled around with settings, don't remember what I did and now the java console pops up in Firefox when I click on a java app. How do I turn this OFF?
There is a thread in this forum that points to this website [URL] as a place for good directions on getting the new Java and the new Firefox to cooperate with one another. I followed it and was unable to get that to happen. To test it I used the official U.S. clock website. Don't quite know what to ask, except what did I do wrong? I following the directions to the letter, but in the "aboutlugins" part, Java doesn't show up.
I have installed a fresh fedora 13. I was trying to install Sun Java so I just followed the instruction given here. everything went al-right and I am now able to open Java applications. The problem is that I can't get the Firefox Java plugin to work! I have tried many things but Firefox doesn't even show the plugin in the about: plugins page.My Firefox version is 3.6.3 and I am using java version 6 update 20.
I downloaded java file from the official site and installed it successfully, but the plug isn't working yet! i can't figure out the missing step after the installation!
how to run a java application on a 64 bit Firefox install on Fedora, but I didn't find any simple and direct way to do it. So I'll post this here, hoping that people who search for this problem can easily find this really quick solution.
1-> on the terminal do the usual su - 2-> yum install jre 3.> make a link in /home/your_name/.mozilla/plugins/ folder to the file located at /usr/java/jre1.6.0_23/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so (just select the file, press ctrl+shift and drag it to the plugins folder) 4-> go to http://java.com/en/download/installed.jsp from firefox and test your install
Piece of cake, but it doesn't show up in search engines that easily when I look for: jre firefox 64 plugin fedora Granted that many tutorials mention the linking method, but most either tell you to install the binary/rpm from the java site or even installing the 32bit version for older fedoras... yum makes it so much easier.
Tells me to go to the plugins folder under firefox. I look in /usr/lib/firefox-3.6 and I dont have a folder named plugins. But firefox does display a list of plugins from Tools>Addons>Plugins. The list displayed by the browser does not include java.
oracle tells me to make a link from this non existent folder to the jre and make a link to lib/i386/libnpjp2.so
I've done a find / and nowhere on the system is there a libnpjp2.so
I 'am trying to install Java on fedora but I 'am stuck a this line on this tutorial [URL]. Use spacebar to read the agreement. At the end type yes to proceed with the installation. To make Firefox use the installed plugin type: su -c 'yum remove java-*-openjdk-plugin' su -c 'ln -s /opt/jre1.6.0_14/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so'
Restart Firefox and Tools -> Addons -> Plugins. If the plugin was successfully installed you should see Java(TM) Plug-in among the plugins. Now, if you also want to run java programs using Sun's java type in a console:
My shell [root@shadow ~]# ln -s /opt/jrel.6.0_16/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so > /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so You have mail in /var/spool/mail/root [root@shadow ~]# ln -s /opt/jrel.6.0_16/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so ln: creating symbolic link `/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so': File exists After restart Firefox i don't see any new plugin. ?
see the released of Mozilla Firefox 3.6. However, it seems that Firefox 3.6 does not like current OpenJDK Java plugin installed by Fedora 12. (IT SUPPORTS NOW SEE SOLUTION BELOW) A little google turned out that in this release Firefox dropped the old Open Java Integration mechanism, which is currently being used by OpenJDK Java plugin. [Code] Now I have to manually install the JRE from Sun to get Java plugin in Firefox 3.6.
Is there any plan for OpenJDK to catch up with this change of Java plugin? I hope the Firefox 3.6 shipped with Fedora 13 could have OpenJDK Java plugin support.
Yes, OpenJDK did have plan for the new java plugin. Actually it arrived with IcedTea B17 (Alpha version, of course). However, the new plugin support is only enabled in Fedora 13 build config. Now our task is simple, upgrade the OpenJDK to Fedora 13 build in rawhide, like what we have done to Firefox.
[Code]....
Reboot your Firefox 3.6 and it's done. I have tested with Citrix java client and RuneScape. Citix works fine, but the RuneScape crashed with my Compiz. Switch off Compiz and the RuneScape works fine, too. It is not a big deal for me since I do not play RuneScape. So basically it WORKS.
Am trying to enable Java on my firefox and however to-the-letter I follow instructions, there is no luck. Firefox still claims that it requires plugins. Here is my terminal output for what I have:
Code: sh-4.1$ ls -alh /usr/java/ total 24K drwxr-xr-x. 6 root root 4.0K Nov 29 09:36 . drwxr-xr-x. 14 root root 4.0K Sep 15 13:43 .. lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Nov 29 09:25 default -> /usr/java/latest drwxr-xr-x. 3 root root 4.0K Nov 29 09:24 jdk1.6.0_20 drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 4.0K Nov 29 09:36 jdk1.6.0_22 drwxr-xr-x. 3 root root 4.0K Nov 29 09:23 jre1.6.0_20 drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4.0K Nov 29 09:25 jre1.6.0_22 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Nov 29 09:36 latest -> /usr/java/jdk1.6.0_22 sh-4.1$ ls -alh /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins total 376K .....
I get the error when I run the test page at [URL].
