One possible guess - on this new system, the firefox patch to 3.6.8 was applied after the icedtea patch. On the two systems that do show the problem, the firefox update was applied before the icedtea update.

This might not make a difference, because Firefox does not do anything with alternatives system. After installation of java-1_6_0-openjdk-plugin package the /usr/lib/browser-plugins/javaplugin.so Just for sure: /usr/sbin/update-alternatives --display javaplugin might show a similar output javaplugin - status is auto. link currently points to /usr/lib64/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk/lib/amd64/IcedTeaPlugin.so /usr/lib64/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk/lib/amd64/IcedTeaPlugin.so - priority 17105 Current `best' version is /usr/lib64/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk/lib/amd64/IcedTeaPlugin.so. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

This bug is back.

There was a security update to icedtea, applied this morning. And since that update, I am seeing the same problem.

The full log doesn't say much more than I posted previously. I set ICEDTEA_PLUGIN=true in the environment (I think that is what you intended), and I ran "firefox -g".

No, that's not correct. You have to type ICEDTEA_PLUGIN=true firefox -g or export ICEDTEA_PLUGIN=true firefox -g

That seems to me like Firefox, not IcedTeaPlugin bug.

The NPNetscapeFuncs shouldn't change within a version for patch level updates but probably something changes which makes it look so? Anyway this _should_ not be a critical error as it also says "Some functionality may be restricted".

No, that's not correct. You have to type

ICEDTEA_PLUGIN=true firefox -g

or export ICEDTEA_PLUGIN=true firefox -g

That's the same thing. I use csh, so I did: % setenv ICEDTEA_PLUGIN true % firefox -g

Neil, could you please remove MozillaFirefox and mozilla-xulrunner and installing these again? Ideally the same versions as those removed.

I don't know how to do that. When I tried, I finished up in dependency hell. It told me that there was a conflict (with gnome-photo, as I recall). I selected the option to ignore the conflict and go ahead anyway. But then it told me that it had automatically added additional changes, which amounted to not removing xulrunner. I aborted at that point. I use kde, but also have gnome and XFCE installed. And thunderbird is also installed, though that wasn't mentioned (yet) in the dependency messages. Note that firefox did update to 3.6.13 after this bug showed up, and the firefox update did not fix it. I think xulrunner updated at the same time as firefox. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The question is how it was possible have this code working, that ain't work in any case!

Do we positively know that it really did work? Could it be another java installed in parallel taking over where the non-recursive symlink resolver failed? (In reply to comment #24)

Neil, could you please remove MozillaFirefox and mozilla-xulrunner and installing these again? Ideally the same versions as those removed.

You would remove MozillaFirefox and corresponding mozilla-xulrunner (and additionally other apps using that version of xulrunner) while making sure that you say you want to break any pattern it complains about. At least this works for me.

Note that firefox did update to 3.6.13 after this bug showed up, and the firefox update did not fix it. I think xulrunner updated at the same time as firefox.

Yes, that's correct - MozillaFirefox and mozilla-xulrunner are basically one package split into two. xulrunner is application independent, and is used by e.g. Thunderbird as well. The packages are tied together *quite* tightly, so you should use e.g. xulrunner 1.9.2.13 with Firefox 3.6.13. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
