There was no Java showing up on about:plugins. I had both Javas installed, openJDK as well as Sun. As soon as I deinstalled openJDK, about:plugins showed a Java plugin, and I see my ILOM pages again. Now I do the "zypper patch", where I get a lot of patterns-openSUSE-something updated from 11.2-20.22.1 to 11.3-1.1.1 (is this a feauture?), and among other small files the both packages I just deinstalled are there again. And boom! - no Java plugin in Firefox, no looking at the ILOM indicators. Now I have to deinstall them via YaST, where I can mark them as "never install this!" so it won't bother me again... Unfortunately, Opera recognizes the Java environment, but does not cooperaty with any of those (openJDK, Sun), so I can't even switch the browser for looking at those pages... Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Update Firefox to 3.6 from the mozilla repository 2. start FF, open an new tab with URL about:plugins OR look at Extras -> AddOns -> Plugins: no Java; looking at pages containing Java does not work 3. rpm -e java-1_6_0-openjdk-plugin-1.6.0.0_b16-5.10.1.x86_64 java-1_6_0-openjdk-1.6.0.0_b16-5.10.1.x86_64 4. step 2 again, but: Java plugin is there; pages containing Java are back to work Actual Results: After I removed java-1_6_0-openjdk-plugin and java-1_6_0-openjdk, FF showed the Java pages again. Apparently, the openJDK plugin confuses FF. This I can say because the reinstallation of openJDK as dependency by some "patterns-opensuse" brings FF 3.6 back to "I don't work with Java" :-( http://www.java.com/en/download/faq/firefox_newplugin.xml may explain why. Expected Results: I do not need openJDK since I have Sun's Java installed. I do not want openJDK because it does not cooperate with FF 3.6. But I do not see how to declare this as an installation dependancy... -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
