 Java doesn't work in FirefoxI haven't needed to use java for some time. I went to a site today that asked for the plugin to be enabled. I thought it was already enabled.
I checked for previous threads about this. So in Firefox config I set dom.ipc.plugins.java.enabled to True and checked that I had icedtea6-plugin and openjdk installed. I went back to the site and still no java. I suspect I'm missing something basic. But, please, what do I do? |

Re: Java doesn't work in Firefox
Not sure what that config is, but mine is set to false and I haven't had any java issues. I am using the sun-java, however. Cheers |

Re: Java doesn't work in Firefox
I looked at the mepis wiki and couldn't find the test links. The wiki dealing with java is so large that it was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Maybe I should use sun-java, but there were warnings that the version 6 was not secure and it was best to use others. Thanks for your help. |

Re: Java doesn't work in Firefox Try these links (from another thread):
http://www.java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp http://javatester.org/version.html http://java.com/en/download/installed.jsp If they work for you, then perhaps the problem lies with the site you are trying to use. _________________ Gigabyte 7ZXE, AMD Athlon XP 2200+, 160GB, 1.5GB, XP, M11, M8.5, Wheezy IBM ThinkPad T43, Intel Pentium M (1.73GHz), 60GB, 1GB, XP, Mepis 11 |

Re: Java doesn't work in Firefox
Thanks for this. Yes Java does work with them, but I see that I am using version 6-18 and version 6-31 (or was it 32) is available. Would it be worth installing that and if so would it be OK to use the Ubuntu deb or the bin file. |
