Hmm, that's not surprising. Every Firefox release works that way. What you got from ftp.mozilla.org is a 32bit build of Firefox and that together with the 32bit Java plugin always worked.

Perhaps not suprising to some. However, I've been looking for a documented method to get firefox working with Java on my 64-bit PC for a week now, and after figuring it out, I assumed someone might appreciate seeing the steps I used to get it working. If this is documented somewhere clearly, that would be nice.

It's pretty simple: Install MozillaFirefox, java-1_5_0-sun-plugin and java-1_5_0-sun in their 32bit versions from openSUSE and all is working automatically. Wolfgang -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Hello, Just about two weeks late on this.. Hope somebody will see it. I am also trying to get Java working on my 64 bit Firefox on 10.3 (MozillaFirefox-2.0.0.11-1.5) I also have java-1.5.0 and java-1.6.0 installed. Don't know if they are 32 bit or not. They have many many files scattered everywhere. eg: bob@Easystreet:~> whereis java java: /usr/bin/java /etc/java /usr/lib64/java /usr/bin/X11/java /usr/share/java /usr/share/man/man1/java.1.gz bob@Easystreet:~> But there is no /java directory in either /usr or /usr/local Now, I attempt to install the plugin but I am offered different varieties of 1.5.0 and 1.6.0 in i586 or x86_64. Don't know which I need. Not knowing what to do I went to the java site and downloaded the jre-6u3-linux-amd64.rpm but did not install it because the install instructions say it should be installed in /usr/java or /usr/local/java, neither of which I have. And, I don't want to scatter more unknown java files throughout my system.. Should I uninstall the two javas that I have and start over fresh? Hope somebody will straighten out my confusion here.

I have almost the same problem as Bob. I have searched for solutions and tried most without success. Any suggestions (short of a complete reinstall) would be appreciated. Dave

You need the 32Bit-Firefox, even on a x86_64 system 'cause there is no 64Bit-Version of the Java browser plugin available from Sun. And you need to install the 32Bit-Version of Sun's JRE or Java-SDK.
After installing there should be a link to libjavaplugin_oji.so in
/usr/lib/firefox/plugins. If not, create it:
cd /usr/lib/firefox/plugins
ln -s

This is not possible with 64bit Firefox (nspluginwrapper will NOT work with the Java Plugin). You will need the 32bit Firefox version. Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

IMHO, this works only with a 32bit-Firefox as there is no 64bit-Java plugin available from Sun.
