Re: [opensuse] Java Plugin for Firefox
I have installed many versions many times. It is easy to lose track of which versions are installed. Also, I think I'm unfamiliar with how to uninstall the Sun package. I assume it is simply rm -r /usr/java/jre1xxx. Uninstalling the SuSE RPM's is also simple. So, that is what I'll do now, uninstall every trace of java. Next, which version of Java should I install that has the greatest chance of working with Firefox? (And where do I obtain the java packages SuSE expects?)

I posted this once before, but I guess you missed it. Help>About: shows that you have the x86_64 version of Firefox installed. x86_64 java plugins are all broken, or rather left totally undeveloped. I don't know why, but even Sun has chosen to ignore this base of users. My solution was to install the x86 version (see below) and use a 32bit javaplugin--mine is from IBM 1.4.2. My Firefox works as expected, after doing this.
