117473 - Mozilla doesn't make Java plugin work

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 101687

(Core Graveyard :: Java-Implemented Plugins, defect)

Description

[Patrick Jean-Bart]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:0.9.7) Gecko/20011221
BuildID:    2001122106

After I've installed JRE 1.3.1 and restarted Mozilla, Java still doesn't work,
even though all the plugin files are in the C:\Program
Files\mozilla.org\Mozilla\Plugins directory.  I can even see them mentionned in
the "Help - About Plugins" menu (4 different plugins for Java), but every time I
see a page with some java in it, it says that I need to install the plugin. 
I've had the same problem in my other machine which has Windows 2000 on it.  The
"Debug - Verification - Applets" menu doesn't work either.  Java applets used to
work for me before (earlier builds) so I don't know what's been broken.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open mozilla
2.go to any page which as some Java applets
3.

Actual Results:  No results!!!

Expected Results:  Show the Java applet properly.

Not sure but this might be the same as bug 117483.

As in bug 117483, I always obtain "Click here to download the plugin" where the Java Applet should 
be, even though Java is enabled.  Apart from that, the mozilla browser runs fine.  By the way, I also 
have Opera on my system, and the (same) Java plugins work just fine in it.

dup of bug 101687?

Comment 4

[Rob McMillin]

Sorta, maybe.  Bug 101687 pertains to the Windows release; it could be a 
similar problem though (installer not installing the Java plugin correctly).

Oh, my bad -- yes, it probably is a dup.  I was thinking of bug 85076.
