Got into the same exact situation after installing Firefox (Namoroka) 3.6

64-bit users - take note:

After making sure that sun-java6-plugin is installed, cut and paste the following command:


sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin.so mozilla-javaplugin.so /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so 50

THANK YOU VERY MUCH :guitar:

After trying different solutions, this exactly worked!.

The issue I identified in my case is

The firefox is installed as a part of Clean installation Hardy Heron.

I upgraded this to 9.04.

I noticed that this Firefox installation does not have any plug in directory and i had to create it manually in ~/.mozilla directory.

I have already installed the JRE 1.6 Update 20.

Thanks once again
