Quoting Sam Drinkard sam@wa4phy.net:
I figured something was up, as after installing and creating the symbolic link, when I tried to access a page that requires the javascript, the browser vanishes entirely.. not even a momentary pause or error message.. just quits like you'd hit the X button! Any other way to get java support into firefox short of building the thing which I really don't want to do ?
Errr... you mean Java, not JavaScript, right?
Yup, I noticed same thing too. Some simple demo applets worked OK (hey I got nice looking fractal and my browser survived), other more complex would make browser to instantly crash. Probably going to disable plugin. Also, probably the reason jpackage folks disabled it in the spec file (or maybe Sun does not even ship it for the very same reasons)...
