But SeaMonkey > requires both (system and mozilla-javaplugin.so). > Craig (+Jens), I've just replicated the same in Fedora 17. First I installed openjdk & tested with both Firefox(13) & SeaMonkey (2.10), and the result is exactly the same as the above tests (works/works). I then did the same with SeaMonkey 2.10, and the result is exactly the same as in the above tests (fail/fail). I then installed Sun Java JRE 1.7: <http://www.if-not-true-then-false.com/2010/install-sun-oracle-java-jdk-jre-7-on-fedora-centos-red-hat-rhel/> tested switch the java, and in this case, again, Firefox sword with 1.7.0_04, SeaMonkey did not. Switched them back to openJDK and everything works in FireFox *and* SeaMonkey. Note: I'me posting this from the Fedora 17 SeaMonkey: Build identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:12.0) Gecko/20120429 Firefox/12.0 SeaMonkey/2.9.1 with openJDK: IcedTea-Web Plugin (using IcedTea-Web 1.2 (fedora-2.fc17-i386)) File: /usr/lib/IcedTeaPlugin.so and tested with 'java.com': Verified Java Version Congratulations!
