How do I configure Java 1.6.0_23 plugin in Solaris 10 x86 with Firefox 3.6.13 ? Everything I've found so far doesn't seem to work.
Maybe I'm just not finding the right URLs, but I can't seem to find how to enable Java plug with the following OS and sw involved. Solaris 10 x86 Firefox 3.6.13 Java 1.6.0_23

Thanks Helper7677, but still no go.
Everything I am looking at seems right, but firefox3 simply isn't picking up the java plugin.
- firefox -v

- java -version

Yet, when I start firefox, "about:plugins" doesn't show java. Also note, I've tried linking to the plugin in various ways, with the same results.
Found the answer. In your firefox plugins directory, link to:
libnpjp2.so -> /usr/jdk/jre1.6.0_23/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so
Change the directory path as appropriate, but from what I've read, this is the new/next generation plugin from java. So far it's working.

Okay, maybe not. /usr/jdk/jre1.6.0_23/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so WAS working, but not now. I'll try to stabilize my setup and repost once I have something working for a while.
libjavaplugin_oji.so is the classic Java plugin. Curent Firefox versions need the Next Generation Java plugin (libnpjp2.so)
