Description

[Laurence Vanek]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.2) Gecko/20010628
BuildID:    2001062823

soft link in /usr/local/mozilla/plugins pointing to:
/usr/java/jre1.3.1/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so
prevents startup except as root.  Removing link solves problem but
no Java.  RealPlayer8 and flashplayer link in /usr/local/mozilla/plugins
directory work ok as non-root.
Write permissions problems?

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.create soft link in /usr/local/mozilla/plugins (ln -s
/usr/java/jre1.3.1/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so)

2.start mozilla as non-root

3.

Actual Results:  startup hangs.  needed to kill processes

Expected Results:  normal startup as when logged in as root

none

Today installed build 2001070408 and setup soft link in
/usr/local/mozilla/plugins directory (libjavaplugin_oji.so ->
/usr/java/jre1.3.1/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so).  During startup
noticed that I had an old profile from moz 0.9.0 release that was not being
used.  Removing this profile SOLVED PROBLEM of hang during non-root startup
(tested @ web site www.java.sun.com).

Dont recall having this problem with moz 0.9.1 but possibily didnt have the two
profile issue.

Sorry to trouble you.  Love this Browser.  Great work!
