Firefox 3.6 with Java6 Update 16, still doesn't work

[ravi.xolve]

As this page says http://kb.mozillazine.org/Java#On_Linux I need to create a link to the file libnpjp2.so for the Java plugin to work. However I found that there is no such file in the java installation directory.


ln -s /usr/your_path_here/java/jre1.6.0_xx/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so libnpjp2.soI have Java installed from the default repo. How to get Java plugin back into Firefox.

Firefox-3.6 and Java (http://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/java#TOC-Get-JRE)

I found the file here:


/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.15/jre/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so

But now when I open a page with a Java applet, Firefox hangs. So I have disabled Java. Isn't the new plugin system made to circumvent this.

Just link it:


ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.15/jre/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so ~/.mozilla/plugins/

And restart Firefox.

I did this already, but now if I open a page with Java applet on it, Firefox hangs.
