[ubuntu-uk] Java runtime Environment and firefox?
I have installed JRE from a sun download binary and now can run from menu internet>sun java web start which opens a java application cache viewer However, I still do not seem to have firefox working with a site such as http://www.saga.co.uk/1066fm/pages/index.asp which seems to need jre for listen live. the file libjavaplugin_oji.so is in my mozilla (ie firefox) plugins directory as a link as a result of the sun install Comments would be appreciated (kubuntu dapper) tia -- alan c Linux registered user #360648 -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
