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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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!
It seems that there is no way for me to install java plugin in firefox 3.6. I've already read some threads about similar problems but none of the solutions that worked for other people work for me. So I decided to open a new thread. Following instructions of other threads, I uninstalled all java packages and installed again just the three that you can see below, but nothing changed.
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
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.
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 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?
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....
At first, I enabled the partner source and installed "sun-java6-plugin", as that was listed in an earlier Ubuntu install's package list. But Firefox does not see this plugin (even after a reboot). So I removed that package and its friends, and installed "icedtea6-plugin" as found on [url], but this does not work, either. This is with Ubuntu 10.10 for i386 on an ASUS Eee PC 900.
How to get a Java plugin working? I know I've had it working before without having to do anything like this. But that could have been an earlier version of Firefox. Could Firefox now be broken? Or could they have blocked Java, now?
When I try to add the Java add-in to Firefox in Ubuntu 10.04, I receive a warning that the next time the computer boots it will remove this add-in. It wasn't critical, so I abandoned the effort but I'd like to know what's up.
I set up an Ubuntu laptop for my sister w/ 10.04 LTS, so she'll have support for a long time. She's going to use it primarily to play interactive games on the Washington Post web site, browse the internet, and play DVDs. It also has OO.o which she might use a little bit.
Each interactive game on their site requires a different add-in (!) and the crossword puzzle requires Java (not JavaScript). But when I tried to add it I got an error message. (speculation) Has Oracle's purchase of Sun resulted in a dispute with Open Source uses of Java?
My sister took the laptop to LA this week, so I no longer have access to the computer to write down the error message. I have checked with some earlier releases of Ubuntu I have here at home (9.04 & 8.04 LTS) and the Java add-in works just fine. I haven't tried 10.10, however.
I think this is an Ubuntu issue, rather than a FireFox issue, as the error message I received was generated by Ubuntu, not FireFox.
i have mozilla 3.0.8 in my ubuntu 9.04 & i cannot configure java in firefox.so when i check in the website of java that if i hav proper java installed or not they say i dont have any proper version installed.but i checked from synaptic that i have java 1.6.0 installed.so what to do??
I have Ubuntu Karmic x32 and the Firefox version from the Mozilla Launchpad ppa, and Firefox isn't detecting the java plugin at all. As in, it's not even being listed in the plugins manager. What should I do? If I need to give any more details about my system,
My Java plugin is not loading on Firefox. I need it to load, but FF doesn't even recognize Java is installed. It works on Google Chrome (which would be nice... except the plugin is buggy there)
Here's the background * I'm running Firefox 3.6.3, through the repository on Code: [URL] * My process list includes: Code: 23679 ? 00:00:00 firefox 23688 ? 00:07:31 firefox-bin * I run NoScript, but I've had it work before w/NoScript, and everything is currently allowed. I'm fairly sure it has rather to do with FF 3.6.3. * My about.config settings:
Code: java.default_java_location_others;/usr/java java.default_java_location_solaris;/usr/j2se java.global_java_version_file;/etc/.java/versions java.java_plugin_library_name;javaplugin_oji * My directory settings:
Code: patrick@patrick-laptop:/usr/lib/jvm$ ls java-6-sun java-6-sun-1.6.0.15
I am unable to install and enable Java plugin for the firefox web browser. I have already installed open jdk. I also tried to install jre 6. But nothing worked..
On Lucid after yesterday's upgrade to Firefox 3.6.14, Java isn't working properly.On a website that I often use, the navigation buttons are appearing erratically - either not at all (just white spaces) or some are present but others are not. They work perfectly with Chrome.I have sun-java6-jre, sun-java-bin and sun-java6-plugin installed, and the latter is enabled in Firefox.
Thus far I have had no luck. I have installed Namoroka from the ppa repo and got flash working nicely but java is another matter. I followed instructions to install the jre manually but no matter what I do it will not display in FF's "aboutlugins". I have to ask if Namoroka is using the default folder: /home/username/.mozilla/plugins/? Because that is where I created the symlink to the java plugin.
