Firefox 1.0 Pre-release (gtk2-dsl), i tried all sort of jre's (uci/dsl/tar.gz) and all versions available (from the depository). I've got lots of extensions active in FF10pre, could they be messing up the link to java? (i backup my changes in the system to backup.tar.gz and restore it when booting). I am thinking of starting the system (from my usb-pen/frugal install) without restoring backup.tar.gz just to see if it changes something.

I just booted dsl 084 clean (norestore) with Firefox10pre.dsl and symlinked java (1.5) with ~/.mozilla/plugins (tried 2 different locations when symlinking). Both didn't work! What am i doing wrong? (i symlink with emelfm but there also seems to me a way to do it with commands i hear?) Could this make a difference?

I just installed opera 6.12 (dsl) and added the path to java 15 AND IT WORKS.

Not that i want to start using opera now, i really need to be able to use java with firefox10pre!

last chance:

I used: (from xterm)
cd ~/mozilla/plugins
ln -s /opt/jre1_5_0/plugin/i386/ns7-gcc29/libjavaplugin_0ji.so

No sigar...

Thanks for your posts...

I followed up your request by testing several ways, here's my steps..

Started up a pristine 0.8.4 disk.
Opened emelfm
Loaded "gtk2.dsl" with "mydsl" button in emelfm ..
Loaded Firefox-1.0PR.dsl with "mydsl" button in emelfm ..
Started Firefox , went to "yahoo games" , tried Text Twist ..
Got message about needing to download plugin - no problem ..
Exit Firefox ..
Mounted the jre1_5_0.uci with "mydsl" button in emelfm ..
Again started Firefox , went to "yahoo games " , tried Text Twist ..
Played a game , did lousy ..
Exit Firefox ..
UNMounted jre1_5_0.uci with "mydsl" button in emelfm ..
Loaded jre1_5_0.tar.gz with "mydsl" button in emelfm ..
Again started Firefox, went to "yahoo games" , tried Text Twist ..
Didn't bother to play this time ..

So it seems to work fine here...
I did not have to create any "symlinks" , as the built-in, existing ones work fine.

I did repeat this with my usual restored backup , and mydsl path ..
No problems ..

I run from liveCD, so I have no issues with leftovers from previous installs ..

The symlink path should connect from:
A symlink in /opt/Firefox-1.0PR/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so ..
which points to:
The /opt/jre1_5_0/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so file ..

Do NOT use the ns7-gcc29 , as it is for earlier browser builds built on the
older gcc29 compiler. Most everything new is now built with gcc 3.x ..
For example , the ns7-gcc29 DOES work with Opera, as you have seen ..
I believe it also works with the older Firefox 0.8 series as well ..
