heathen:/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins# ls -l total 20 drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Mar 7 00:34 java2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 44 Mar 7 00:46 libjavaplugin_oji.so -> java2/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 13752 Mar 3 08:29 libnullplugin.so This did not work for me at all. After I do this, I quit and reload Mozilla, and access to the java-page (A local page that loads mindterm SSH for me) and I'm still told that I need the java plugin. I also am unable to load the java console. -- Ferret
