The wierd thing is, i went on that test page and it says no java enabled, but it says the version no. (1.3) and that cookies are enabled which it says should only be displayed if java test says enabled.
From the experience of trying to install Bit Torrent, should there be somestuff on java in /etc/mailcap file?

I just talked a friend through installing Java on a fresh 9.2 install over the
phone last night and while doing that I realized that my java version wasn't
current. So I ran through the same procedure as I was instructing him to use
and it all worked.
While about it; apparently the answer to your question about the plug-in version being gcc32 is yes, that's the correct one. Not that it seemed to matter on this system.
The following instructions are what worked for my friend in a fresh install.
The last step was slightly different for my machine because I have upgraded
Mozilla to version 1.5 from MandrakeClub. I had to add the symlink for that
as well as the default location.
Download the J2SE rpm.bin file from Sun, open a terminal in the directory it
was saved to and as super user:
sh j2re-1_4_2_03-linux-i586-rpm.bin urpmi j2re-1_4_2_03-linux-i586.rpm ln -s /usr/java/j2re1.4.2_03//plugin/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
In order to make this work for mine I had to add the target
/usr/lib/mozilla-1.5/plugins/
I tested, and had Ed (my friend) test java function by going to this page:
http://www.expertit.co.uk/support/browsertest/
with every java capable browser he had installed. They all worked, as did my
Mozilla 1.5.
Best of luck to you. It makes no sense why I have no trouble with java here in
Mozilla and yours crashes, except for a possible bug in the _alpha_ level
version of Mozilla you're running. Have you upgraded Mozilla to the beta
version yet?
