    [SOLVED] Getting Firefox to recognize Java plugin...

    Hi all...

    I'm installing Ubuntu 10.04 on a system that might be replacing a workstation I originally set up for tenant use 5 years ago in the complex where I live.

    The problem is that while I installed "sun-java6-plugin" using Synaptic, Firefox does not recognize the plugin in "aboutlugins." How can I go about rectifying this quickly and easily?

    I've had problems with Java before but I can't remember how I went about fixing it.

    Thanks...

    Did you uninstall all the IcedTea and OpenJDK stuff?

    Also, try this:

    sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/mozilla-javaplugin.so mozilla-javaplugin.so /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so 1

    Change i386 to amd64 if necessary, depending on which one you've installed.

      Hi Steve...

      Thanks for your reply.

      I'll check when I get home if I have "IcedTea" or "OpenJDK" installed. I don't remember seeing it.

      I will also try the terminal command you supplied as well.

      I appreciate your help.

        IcedTea is the Mozilla Plug-in for OpenJDK. I know it works (my kids were running Minecraft in the browser the other day).

          Hi all....

          Thanks Steve, this did the trick.

          @dequire: Thanks for your post, I didn't have IcedTea installed to begin with so, fortunately, that wasn't interfering with getting Java installed correctly.

          Regards...
