So it sounds like the links needed for the plugin to work are not configured on the system. So you have some symlinks pointing to the openjdk with the system and some pointing the one you tried to install. I don't know how you installed this new jdk so it may be for many different reasons.
I installed it by downloading the rpm and installing that. IBM said on my older FF the app/plugin is called JNLP and I should change the setting for that to 'always ask' and then when it asks use javaws - I did that but it still fails.
Again, please enter 'about:plugins' in the address bar of your browser to make sure, that the right java version is activated.
This is what I get from that:
application/x-java-vm IcedTea class,jar application/x-java-applet IcedTea class,jar application/x-java-applet;version=1.1 IcedTea class,jar application/x-java-applet;version=1.1.1 IcedTea class,jar application/x-java-applet;version=1.1.2 IcedTea class,jar application/x-java-applet;version=1.1.3 IcedTea class,jar application/x-java-applet;version=1.2 IcedTea class,jar application/x-java-applet;version=1.2.1 IcedTea class,jar application/x-java-applet;version=1.2.2 IcedTea class,jar application/x-java-applet;version=1.3 IcedTea class,jar application/x-java-applet;version=1.3.1 IcedTea class,jar application/x-java-applet;version=1.4 IcedTea class,jar application/x-java-applet;version=1.4.1 IcedTea class,jar application/x-java-applet;version=1.4.2 IcedTea class,jar application/x-java-applet;version=1.5 IcedTea class,jar application/x-java-applet;version=1.6 IcedTea class,jar application/x-java-applet;version=1.7 IcedTea class,jar application/x-java-applet;version=1.8 IcedTea class,jar application/x-java-applet;jpi-version=1.8.0_50 IcedTea class,jar application/x-java-bean IcedTea class,jar application/x-java-bean;version=1.1 IcedTea class,jar application/x-java-bean;version=1.1.1 IcedTea class,jar application/x-java-bean;version=1.1.2 IcedTea class,jar application/x-java-bean;version=1.1.3 IcedTea class,jar application/x-java-bean;version=1.2 IcedTea class,jar application/x-java-bean;version=1.2.1 IcedTea class,jar application/x-java-bean;version=1.2.2 IcedTea class,jar application/x-java-bean;version=1.3 IcedTea class,jar application/x-java-bean;version=1.3.1 IcedTea class,jar application/x-java-bean;version=1.4 IcedTea class,jar application/x-java-bean;version=1.4.1 IcedTea class,jar application/x-java-bean;version=1.4.2 IcedTea class,jar application/x-java-bean;version=1.5 IcedTea class,jar application/x-java-bean;version=1.6 IcedTea class,jar application/x-java-bean;version=1.7 IcedTea class,jar application/x-java-bean;version=1.8 IcedTea class,jar application/x-java-bean;jpi-version=1.8.0_50 IcedTea class,jar application/x-java-vm-npruntime IcedTea
But normally javaws is a different topic. As far as i remember, there should be an option to let firefox ask, which javaws should be executed. As i understand, you have different version installed.
When this was working before the firmware update the RC software invoked IcedTea. As one of the attempted fixes IBM suggested using javaws instead. Intially I did not have javaws but I did have javaws.itweb. I tried that and it failed in the same way.
Then they asked me to run this:
alternatives --config java
There are 2 programs which provide 'java'.
Selection Command ----------------------------------------------- *+ 1 /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.8.0-openjdk.x86_64/bin/java 2 /usr/java/jre1.8.0_144/bin/jav
And switch to the second one. When I did that it still failed with IcedTea, but then there was a javaws. I ran that and it did completely different things and finally failed with "Login error". They they had me go into ControlPanel and put the IP address of the IMM in the excpetion site list. I did that and then I get: KVM Java: Duplicate exists. Then they gave up and said they don't know.
And at last, please check the security options with jcontrol. Newer java version are more restricted about security settings.
I don't seem to have jcontrol
