Does anyone have an answer how to get Java to work in Mozilla 1.5? I installed Suse 9.0 yesterday. Java works in the 1.4 Mozilla that came in the installation, but when I got 1.5 from the mozilla site the java doesn't work in it. I did the plug update when it asked me to.
Now here is one I can answer. I found a very easy way to get Java and other plugins to carry over to the new Mozilla 1.5. When I installed Mozilla 1.5, I put it in /opt/mozilla where 1.4 was. I noticed the directory tree was a little different for 1.5 but that didn't seem to matter. In browsing in the mozilla tree, I found a SuSE script /opt/mozilla/bin/add-plugins.sh. I edited it with kwrite and changed line 13 to PREFIX=/opt/mozilla. After running the tampered script, Mozilla 1.5 listed all the plugins when I clicked help/about/plugins. I also found this worked with Mozilla Firebird after a little more tampering with add-plugins.sh. Change line 13 to PREFIX=/opt/MozillaFirebird and change lines 20 and 21 to MozillaFirebird-bin. Nice script SuSE but I get the feeling that no one knows about it after reading posts about Mozilla and plugins Damon Register
