Firefox-2 is part of hardy alright, its just not installed by default. I for one have 2 options. Either plugins will work reasonable soon on hardy's firefox-2, or i'll downgrade to Gutsy, simple as that.
So, if I start firefox-2 on a fresh hardy install, and hit a page that needs Java, it pops up the prompt giving me a choise to install one of the 4 java plugins. Java gets installed... and is not registered with FF2, only with FF3B5. -- [hardy] Java plugin not registered in Firefox 2 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/211309 You received this bug notification because you are a member of OpenJDK, which is subscribed to icedtea-gcjwebplugin in ubuntu.
