Java for firefox?

Dean at Edag — Wed, 01 Aug 2007 16:29:31 GMT

Hello, is there a way to install java such that firefox can run java applets, or a command line switch that can be used when launching firefox that would accomplish the same thing? Otherwise firefox is not so useful. I can install the depot for java, and even a depot that is claimed to be specifically java for firefox, but nothing has worked so far. Thanks, Dean.

Hi Dean

Check this link.

It says how can you install java for firefox.

The link that Padma mentions doesn't mention HP-UX. See the java page:
http://www.hp.com/go/java

That page also points to firefox:

If you say you have already installed java, you may have to do something like:
export MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH=/opt/mozilla/plugins
(or firefox)

Or make sure there are links in /opt/firefox/plugins

What does "about:plugins" show in the address bar?

Hello, installing java, and creating a soft link from /opt/firefix/plugins to the appropriate .sl file in the java directory, solved this. Thanks.
