Plugins fail to register in /usr/local/mozilla/plugins properly.  Some plugins
work, but others do not:

Shockwave 5.0r52 plugin works
Realplayer 8 plugin works
plugger 3.3 does not work (plugger.so)
Acrobat 4.05 does not work (nppdf.so)
Timidity does not work (ump.so)
Java 1.3.x plugin registers but crashes when invoked


also following errors are generated at startup:

LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library
/usr/local/mozilla/./plugins/ShockwaveFlash.class [ld.so.1: ./mozilla-bin:
fatal: /usr/local/mozilla/./plugins/ShockwaveFlash.class: unknown file type]
LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library
/usr/local/mozilla/./plugins/ump.so [ld.so.1: ./mozilla-bin: fatal: relocation
error: file /usr/local/mozilla/./plugins/ump.so: symbol _XmStrings: referenced

LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library
/usr/local/mozilla/./plugins/raclass.zip [ld.so.1: ./mozilla-bin: fatal:
/usr/local/mozilla/./plugins/raclass.zip: unknown file type]

Could you try a talkback build and attach the incident ID to this bug? 
Otherwise, could you run under a debugger and get a stack trace of the crash?

> Acrobat 4.05 does not work (nppdf.so)

Known bug, already filed, fix being reviewed.

> Timidity does not work (ump.so)

That one looks like it's looking for a function (_XmStrings) which does not
exist...  Not sure what's up with that.  Please file a separate bug on it; let's
focus this one on the java crash.

The _XmStrings error looks like bug 69167, but I think that fix made it into the
0.9.4 branch so who knows...

could you try without
/usr/local/mozilla/./plugins/ump.so
the  fatal error from ld [ld.so.1: ./mozilla-bin: fatal: relocation error..] 
looks suspicion

Comment 4

[Wayne Gratton]

I have tried running this with the Java plugin only, the result is still a crash
with the same error.

Comment 5

[serge (gone)]

>with the same error
with [ld.so.1: ./mozilla-bin: fatal: relocation error... symbol _XmStrings: 
referenced symbol not found]]?
or something else?

Note: On UNIX, the Java plugin may crash if used after visiting about:plugins.
See bug 86591 for that fix.

Comment 9

[Jim Crumley]

From bug 102667, this bug only seems to appear if about Help:About plugins is
checked first.

"- Start Mozilla with Java, Flash, RealPlayer plugins installed, open
Java-enabled website -> works

- Exit Mozilla

- Start Mozilla again, check "about:plugins" (Java, Flash and RealPlayer get
listed), open same Java-enabled website as before -> Mozilla crashes with core.
I checked this several times. A colleague of mine also checked it on his
workstation at home. Always the same behaviour."

I can confirm this with build 2001100122 under Sparc Solaris 7.

The error message just before the crash is:
Internal error: Null plugin managerSegmentation Fault - core dumped

The core dump yields:
#0  0xfcf4c038 in JavaVM5::AllocateEventWidget ()

[Sergey Lunegov]

Works for me on Solaris 2.8 build 20011101 095 branch (JRE 1.3.1). Seems this is
dup of 86591: I comented out fix for 86591 and
after that bug 100278 has been reproduced. If fix for 86591
is applied bug is not reproducible. I propose to close as dup of 86591

Comment 11

[Alexei V. Mokeev]

Looks like this bug was fixed by fix for 86591.
Reporter, is this problem still reproduced for you ?
Otherwise please close bug.
