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.
