I have some pb for running java on my system with Firefox 3.0.12 System centos 5.3 - kernel 2.6.18-128 x86_64
When I tested my java config on http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp?detect=jre&try=1 http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp?detect=jre&try=1 I have always the message that plugin missed : Java Runtime Environnemtn is not present.
What I need to do for implemented full java in firefox ?

I want to resurrect this thread..... Some time ago, I got the JRE, but had the same problem as the OP. This box is CentOS 5.3 (32 bit) fully updated. Firefox 3.04.14. I have jre1.6.0_13 installed. In usr/lib/mozilla/plugins when I make the link, as the root user, the permissions seem to be the same as for the link for libflashplayer.so but when I go back to my regular user account and launch Mozilla Firefox, it crashes. Is that because I had the java.com site open in the browser, before making the link as the root user? I removed the link, temporarily. What do I need to do, to make the link work properly? TIA!
Gee, flashplayer....
I reported a bug to the firefox team early last week. *Every* time I tried to use flash under either 3.0.14 or 3.5.3, firefox crashed. Hard.
They *finally* found the bug: there's an undocumented dependency on libcurl, so if you install the curl rpm (both, if you're running 64-bit), it'll work.
Mark: Thank you. I am running CentOS 5.3 32 bit. Do I need to yum install libcurl or libcurl and curl? TIA! Lanny
yum install curl (or update curl). The curl package includes libcurl. And I'm on 5.3 32 bit at home (where I tried it first), and 64 bit at work.
Oh, and if you're interested, it was Bug 515672.
