All,
This has been reported on Bugzilla but I wanted to get your opinions
and see if there's a workaround. I'm not hopeful that the Mozilla
folks will be fixing this anytime soon...
When I go to certain sites that require Java, I'm prompted to download
the Java plugin. Mozilla dutifully goes out to netscape.com to download
the plugin but apparently has an incorrect URL. Not only isn't the
Linux Java plugin at the URL but it tries to download a Windows 32
EXE! To add insult to injury, the "unsucessful download" page
recommends that I try to FTP the windows version by hand.
Urrrmmm... excuse me. Java runs on Linux too.
So I can't run any Java stuff using Mozilla. They've apparently
embedded incorrect URLs in the Mozilla code (that's a poor strategy
for download localization).
Any ideas on how I can fix this?
