Right this was a bit of a doozy.
- sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin
- cd .mozilla/plugins/
- ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.06/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
- restart firefox
It still doesn’t work? Ok. Type the following into your address bar about:plugins – if you see anything in relation to icedtea, remove it:
- apt-get remove icedtea-gcjwebplugin
- restart firefox
You should now have a functional JRE installed in Firefox3. This has been bugging me for a while as I’ve a few apps that use a JRE that I’ve not been able to use for a while.
