Java not working on Firefox 3.0.4 in Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex?

Posted by Madox in Software Problems Help, tags: ,

Well it was just nagging me, and for anyone who runs into this problem here’s the solution (to the ever moving Firefox path problem)

cd /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.4/plugins

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so

Assuming you already had the sun-java packages (anyway if not just get it).

Please Flattr me if you found this useful :)

    /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.4/plugins/

    Ah yes, you didn’t catch the exact path which is the trick :)
    It is /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.4/plugins/ NOT /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/

    Well the Firefox 3.0.5 upgrade didn’t seem to have broken this time around :)
    Java still works great :)
