i concur. this was also the case in gutsy with firefox 2. on a default install, i added the java6 mozilla plugin, but it was not listed in about:plugins under firefox 3 beta.
i had to create a symbolic link in ~/.mozilla/plugins for it to work. this would be very frustrating for newbies as all the gui windows indicated that the plugin was installed correctly, however firefox never picked it up from the /etc/alternatives/ directory or the symbolic link under /usr/mozilla/plugins (or similar?) ** Also affects: ubuntu-restricted-extras (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- java plugin not working in firefox 3 on ubuntu 8.04 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/173966 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
