As far as I can recall, taking the following link --

http://java.com/en/download/installed.jsp

confirmed that the plugin was operating correctly.

Sorry to be somewhat vague but I no longer have the icedtea-web and
java-1.7.0-openjdk packages installed on this RHEL 6u4 system.

You now have it working and that's all that really matters.

Thanks for letting me know.

Hmm . . . Odd. The more I think about it, the more convinced I am that
'icedtea-web' and 'java-1.7.0-openjdk' were all that I required to
have a working java plugin for firefox on a pure 64-bit RHEL 6 system.

firefox java plugin

2013-09-03 Thread Tom Rosmond
I just upgraded my system from 5.5 to 6.4 (64 bit) and have one
outstanding issue still plaguing me.  Firefox does not find the java
plugin, which disables many web applications I need.  I have seen web
chatter in several sites about this problem, including SL, so it
certainly must be widespread.

I notice that only the 64 bit version of firefox was installed as part
of my 6.4 build, and I see frequent comments in the discussions about
compatibility problems between 64 bit firefox and the Java plugin.  If
so, would a switch to the 32 bit firefox help?  Or is there hope that an
update to firefox/Java will be available soon that will fix the problem?
Any other suggestions?

T. Rosmond

The package name that comes to mind is 'iced-tea-web', if I am
remembering correctly!
