OK, I figured this one out finally, looks like under firefox 3 plugins a symlink is missing.
What worked for me: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/lib/firefox-3.0b3/plugins$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so Before: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/lib/firefox-3.0b3/plugins$ ls -la total 8 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2008-01-02 17:09 . drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 2008-01-17 22:55 .. After: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/lib/firefox-3.0b3/plugins$ ls -la total 12 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2008-03-13 16:29 . drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 2008-01-17 22:55 .. lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 64 2008-03-13 16:29 libjavaplugin_oji.so -> /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so Looks like the Java plugin is not symlinked under Firefox 3. -- no Java plugin for Firefox with sun-java-6 installed in Hardy alpha 6 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/201143 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
