User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; it; rv:1.9.0.8) Gecko/2009032608 Firefox/3.0.8 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; it; rv:1.9.0.8) Gecko/2009032608 Firefox/3.0.8 I've followed instructions for java plugin installation by symbolic linking of java plugin library libjavaplugin_oji.so, and I'm sure I've done it in to the right directory, because it contains a flash player library that is correctly used. The plugin doesn't appear when I write the magic url about:plugins The plugins directory is actually $HOME/.mozilla/plugins Reproducible: Always Actual Results: about:plugins doesn't display java plugin Expected Results: about:plugins display information about java version
The linux distribution is a 32-bit Ubuntu Intrepid, with kernel 2.6.27-11-generic on a dual core processor.
I had the same problem, with a recent nightly (Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2a2pre) Gecko/20090827 Namoroka/3.6a2pre) on Debian Linux. Using the new java plugin works. See https://jdk6.dev.java.net/plugin2/ http://www.java.com/en/download/help/new_plugin.xml Maybe Firefox 3.0 no longer supports the "old" Java plugin?
Reporter, please retest with Firefox 3.6.12 or later in a fresh profile (http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Managing+profiles). Also update your plugins (flash, adobe reader, java, quicktime, silverlight, etc.) Go to the developer's website and download the latest version from there. If you no longer see this issue, please close this bug as RESOLVED, WORKSFORME. If you do see the bug, please post a comment.
