Ihave Opera working on java by doing much as described by Fergus. Sometimes an aplet will not display and the java console not that useful as it will only display messages after it has been started and you can not start the console until the aplet is loaded! A real "Catch 22" if I ever met one. Peter On Monday 25 March 2002 10:59 am, you wrote:
I got it going in Konqueror by dowloading the Sun j2re1.4 and following the instructions kindly given by Ben Rosenberg a week or so ago on this list.
I then went into konq. settings, enabled the obvious, and fed it the 'path to java executable', in my case /usr/lib/j2re1.4.0/bin/java. There are probably lots of other ways, but this one certainly led to succesful applet viewing in Konq.
I did this because I saw Ben's notes, and thought 'Why not whizz it up?' - but does anyone have a view about how safe / dangerous it is to cruise around the net with java globally enabled? I never used to, but what's the current orthodoxy on this? HTH Fergus

For mozilla I could only install this as root. Give that a try.
