Ubuntu :: Install The ALEKS Plugin In Firefox 3.6.7?
Jul 26, 2010
I am trying to install the ALEKS plugin in firefox 3.6.7. ALEKS is a math education suite type thing, and I am using it to get into college classes. In order for the ALEKS plugin to work, I need to things: Java and their plugin. ALEKS provides a linux plugin [URL]... but from the description, it looks like it hasn't been updated for quite a while (since the days of netscape I suppose.)
I contacted them and asked about the situation. They gave me the above link and told me they didn't give support for the linux plugin, but the page has instructions so I figured maybe the geniuses at ubuntuforums can possibly get it working with a little elbow grease. Now, on the driver download page it says this:
To download manually the plug-in on Linux for Netscape 7.1+, or Firefox 1.0+, or Mozilla 1.6+, you will have to download the ALEKS package file and save it on your computer in the "Java VM lib/ext" directory. For instance, with the Sun Java VM version 1.4.1, this directory is usually:
/usr/java/j2re1.4.1/lib/ext/ or /usr/local/j2re1.4.1_02/lib/ext/ I tried cd'ing to those directories but they don't exist. My main question is, what is the equivalent for the default java installation that comes with ubuntu?

Yesterday I wasn't able to successful enable JRE in my firefox.This is what I did ,
I downloaded the rpm from the file and installed it in /usr/java Code: chmod a+x jre-6u<version>-linux-i586-rpm.bin./jre-6u<version>-linux-i586-rpm.bin This successfully installed Firefox JRE in my system now in order to make firefox know abt it
I went to /usr/lib/firefox/plugins and
Code:
ln -s /usr/java/jre1.6.0_24/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so as said in the instruction manual. Still firefox isn't able to recognise the plugin.

When I try to display a PDF file from within the Firefox browser, I get a screen that says "Click here to download plugin." When I click there, the plugin finder service runs and displays a message that says: "No suitable plugins were found".
How do I find and install the Firefox browser plugin that lets me display PDF files?

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?

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:

I failed to install flash-plugin on my firefox My firefox is installed on path "/home/<<user>>/firefox"
1) I tried to install flash plugin by rpm -Uvh flash-plugin-10.0.32.18-release-i386.rpm It is not working as the files are not installed on the folder /home/<<user>>/firefox/
2) yum install flash-plugin It returns "nothing to do"
3) I extracted and copied the files in the rpm to /home/<<user>>/firefox/flash-plugin then create a link by ln -s /home/<<user>>/firefox/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so /home/<<user>>/firefox/plugins/libflashplayer.so When I open the firefox, it crashed.
How could I install this plugin manually?

I just installed F11KDE, and I am trying to get it to run Flash content in Firefox. I have been searching for solutions for well over an hour and have found nothing that works. How can I get my installation of the Firefox browser to play Flash content. How do I install it? I have tried
# yum install flashplug-in or something to that effect, as well other attempts of different varieties, i.e.-rpm, yumex. Nothing is working.

On an new Ubuntu 9.10 installation, I chose the wrong flash player to run with Firefox. It's the gnash one. I should take the Adobe one. How do I remove it, so Firefox will see the plugin's not there and then prompt me for a new plugin?

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?

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 just installed Gnome Do and for the most part, it works great!
The only problem is that it does not search my Firefox bookmarks. Every other search seems to work just fine. I ran Do in a terminal and this is what came up:
(Do:13821): Wnck-CRITICAL **: wnck_set_client_type got called multiple times.
Firefox.PlacesItemSource "Firefox Places" encountered an error in UpdateItems: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
at Mono.Data.SqliteClient.SqliteDataReader.GetString (Int32 i) [0x00000]
at Firefox.PlacesItemSource+<LoadPlaceItems>c__Iterat or3.MoveNext () [0x00000]
[Code]....
After that, I went in a disabled the Firefox plug in and ran it again and the only alert was the "Wnck-CRITICAL" message, which seems to always be there.
I am running 10.04, with Compiz.

Ubuntu 10.10 - Flash 10 plugin - Firefox 3.6.12 (all latest versions of their kind). When I try to play programs from BBC iPlayer website, the message on the screen informs me that I don't have the correct Flash plug-in, I follow the links to download this, but of course my computer does have Flash 10 plug-in already installed. I have tried removing this and reinstalling both from the website link and from Ubuntu repository, but still cannot convince Firefox that I do indeed have the necessary Flash plug-in.

Recently it appeared to me that my java-plugin is missing. (apparently I don't need it that often).
I've had various upgrades of firefox on my machine, currently i've got version 3.6.13.
I tried to check the plugin directory for the java-plugin - only to find out that I have more than one:
I found out that the other plugins I use reside in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins. In this directory there is
All this has cost me hours now - but still I have no java-plugin. Quite frustrating.
How can I get a working java-plugin? How can I clean up all this plugin mess?

I am having problems with the Adobe PDF plugin to load and display PDFs within the browser.
This is a plain Natty-installation with Firefox 4. Adobe Reader 9 is installed with the deb package from the adobe - homepage.
The PDF seems to load when the file is actually stored on a webserver. But when the PDF is kind of dynamically generated, the file is not opened by the plugin but a file-save/open dialog appears.
Can reproduce this behaviour? To test, for example, to
[url]
If you click the PDF button unter "cached", the PDF is not loaded within the browser on my system.
If you however click, for example the second link under "Downloads" everything works as should.
Things I tried that failed:
- completely removing Adobe Reader 9 and the plugin and try to use Reader 8 + plugin instead
- using Mozplugger/evince instead of the Adobe Reader 9 plugin
In all cases, the PDF under "cached" is not loaded within the browser.
As comparision, for example in Windows 7 using Adobe Reader X, everything works as should.
I am not sure which one is the culprit here, my suspicion is Firefox 4...
Do you know of existing bugreports either in launchpad, firefox bugzilla etc?
