that has been working fine for many months. I even downloaded the Java 1.6 update rpm and installed it but they only tell how to install it for mozilla, not firefox. Any help would be appreciated.

=========== Rich, Just do a search, whereis or locate, to find your Firefox directory in your system, then go to the plugins directory to see if the java plugin is pointing to the right place. Many times these tend to get misdirected and are pointing to something non-existent or the old location of java.
You can check the plugins in Firefox by typing "about:plugins" in the url area.

Lee, That was one heck of a security upgrade! I hope I don't need 1.4.2 anymore. They moved it, I mean java...completely and utterly moved it from /usr/lib/java.version to /usr/java/rel.version No wonder the links were broken. Not only that, the library name was changed. Oh, I hasten to point out that *something* erased the contents of everything in the /usr/lib/java.version directories except the folders themselves so I couldn't simply repoint the links. Anyhow, I did get it working. I just wish "they" wouldn't diddle-fart with stuff without warning us of possible side-effects, and I wish Firefox would 'just work' like Konqueror does with the default locations of java when it installs....but that would be too much to ask :) At least this isn't Windoze where I couldn't fix it without paying Redmond for an upgrade and re-registering and entering a 1000 digit security code off the DVD.
