Where is JRE plugin for my firefox???
Yesterday I needed to access a web-based application requiring JRE Plugin.
Guess what the web-page told me, there is no Java plugin installed.
The very first thing I did was to type about:plugins in the address-bar.
Sure enough there was no mention of the java plugin. Then I checked to see if JRE was installed - which was, by the way.
The very next thing was to see if there was link for the plugin in the ~/.mozilla/plugins directory.
There was no libjavaplugin_oji.so. So creating the link finally solved the issue for me.
In short, if you don't see Java plugin, do the following:
ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.13/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so /home/murlee/.mozilla/plugins/
