I rather fix that
After a fresh install of Fedora 13 (same was true for Fedora 12 also) OpenJDK does not show up in *about:plugins* on Firefox. Therefore, Firefox fails (with plugin missing error) to load the java applet required in the authentication process of internet banking website of my banker. I too prefer to keep my PC full of open source software and use the least amount of closed source software (even if free for use). I cannot avoid my banker though. :) Any pointers to configure the OpenJDK to show up in Firefox, I am willing to try. with Regards, ASHWIN _______________________________________________ india mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/india
