Java plugin doesn't work

Post by Spixi »

Hi there,

I have a problem with the Java Plugin. I tried
ln -s /usr/lib/java/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
and restarted firefox.

However Java is not shown in about:plugins and doesn't work at all. I also tried
ln -s /usr/lib/java/plugin/i386/ns7-gcc29/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
and it didn't work.

What shall I do?

--
Java version:
java version "1.6.0_25"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_25-b06)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 20.0-b11, mixed mode, sharing)

Mozilla version:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:15.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/15.0.1


EDIT:
Yes, "/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libnpjp2.so -> /usr/lib/java/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so" also exists and it doesn't work ...

Alright, but it still doesn't work. However, libflashplayer.so is detected ...

Code: Select all

mari[~]$ ls -l /usr/lib/firefox-15.0.1/plugins
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Sep 10 21:21 /usr/lib/firefox-15.0.1/plugins -> ../mozilla/plugins
mari[~]$ env | grep JAVA
JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/java
mari[~]$ 
EDIT: I have found the issue:

https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/blocked/p119

I manually activated the plugin and it worked.
