212645 - Mozilla 1.4 crashed when started up with J2RE 1.4.2

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 209904

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

Description

[Peter L. Rasmussen]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624

I had downloaded the J2RE package and installed it under the /opt directory.
Providing the link to the plugin directory gave me the following problem when
subsequently attempting to start up the Mozilla:

[root@midgaard plr]# ln -sf
/opt/j2re1.4.2/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so
/usr/local/mozilla14/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so
[root@midgaard plr]# exit
exit
[plr@midgaard plr]$ alias moz
alias moz='/usr/local/mozilla/mozilla'
[plr@midgaard plr]$ moz&
[1] 2213
[plr@midgaard plr]$ INTERNAL ERROR on Browser End: No manager for initializing
factory?

System error?:: Success

[1]+  Exit 255                /usr/local/mozilla/mozilla
[plr@midgaard plr]$

=========================
If removing the link afterwards I can start up Mozilla but then without any Java
support.

This is on both a RH7.3 and a Slackware 7.0 system, all updated in order to be
able to build and run the latest Linux kernels, eg. this being run on
Linux-2.6.0-test1 that was build locally.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.See description under "Details".
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
See description under "Details".

Expected Results:  
Started up as normal with Java support.
