Java plugin stopped working after upgrade to final 1.3. It did work in 1.3b,
1.3a, and ealier. I did relink
/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.1_02/jre/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so to
/usr/lib/mozilla-1.3/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so.
"Help/About Plug-ins" shows correct version of Java plugin, "Tools/Web
Development/Java Console" is dimmed out though, and applets are not working. Did
reproduce this problem on two systems, both running RedHat 8.0.

Reproducible: Always

Is this a mozilla build from mozilla.org ?

Comment 2

[jarek sacha]

It was installed from RPMs from mozilla.org for RedHat8
(mozilla-1.3-0_rh8_xft.i386.rpm, ...)

You need to ensure the compiler used to build the Java plugin matches that of
the browser. The rpms use gcc3 but Sun's current plugin was built with gcc2.

V. Though Bug 116444 might be more relevant?
