1118706 - The applets work with jre 1.6 update 25. However, it is not working in firefox 10.0.12. request you to please provide help on how to launch firefox using specific JRE ?

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[Chandan Chhabra]

Attachment: firefox_error v1.1.JPG

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/39.0.2171.95 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

I have launched the firefox with the URL using the following command:

/usr/bin/env /usr/bin/firefox $URL &
while unsetting the environment local to my application. Now, the challenge is to give dynamic JRE 1.6 to the firefox. So, that the clients applet can only work with this version of JRE.


Actual results:

The applet does not work.


Expected results:

The applet must have been working as intended.

Do you need to use Firefox 10?  There seems to be a recent Firefox ESR build for Solaris: https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/31.3.0esr/contrib/

Hi,

Thanks for sharing the link. let me brief you the issue. 

We own an application which is an EMS for the node. we have an option to open the secured page of the AMS(Hosted on node requires JRE 1.6). We were using the Mozilla earlier and now we moved to firefox. However, I need a way to launch firefox with JRE 1.6_7 internally for launching the AMS(Java Applet) on solaris platform.
The AMS is similar page like that of a router at our homes. However, it is coded to run on JAVA 1.6.

PS: AMS is part of client end which manages the full wireline exchange in live.

BR,

Install the correct version of the JRE as a plugin is the short answer.

Mozilla's bugzilla is for bugreporting, and is therefore not the right place to get help on this project (especially not for Firefox 10 - you've failed to answer the question in comment 1, too) if that is somehow difficult. Try a solaris or java applet mailing list instead.

Hi Gijis,

I am not failed to answer. However, I can not switch the firefox as firefox is delivered by different team here. we need to folow the protocol for our projects. It's a very wide system capable of handling worldwide nodes/Exchanges.

I hope you understand the situation.

This still isn't the right place to ask - it's a bug database, and this isn't a bug. Please use a relevant mailing list instead.
