Firefox 3.6 64bit + java64bit doesn't work

[Guest]

Hello,

I read lots of posts and guides on the problem of running java in firefox 3.6 but still i have a haven't managed to make it work.

I'm using firefox 3.6 x86_64 with java 1.6.0_18 64 bit.
I tried many times to set the (ln -s) of

/usr/java/64/jre1.6.0_18/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so

in
1. /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
And in
2. ~/.mozilla/plugins

But it still doesn't work.

But, when i change the java to 1.6.0_18 32 bit and then changing the reference to i386/libnpjp2.so, then it works.

So the problem i have is only when using 64 bit java.

Thanks,
Omer

I just installed Sun Java on my 0.10 and 10.04 installations. Though I failed many times before, BigCityCat posted an excellent guide to installing Sun Java in this forum.

It is here: http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/inde...opic=3109697.0

His post guides you to the Sun Java site and to some very easy to follow step-by - step instructions. As I said I succeeded by following these step literally. they are easy to understand and to execute.

My Sun Java now works perfectly in 10.04 and 9.10, both 64 bit.
