The bug referred to in my comment #8 and linked against Mozilla Firefox. I've got a relatively simply patch in the works, although its a slight kludge.
In IcedTeaPluginFactory::StartAppletViewer() it will check the run-time xulrunner platform version and choose the IID to request (from the one provided by the 1.9.0 headers, or the explicitly coded 1.9.1 IID). It should make the patch about 8 lines if everything I've read up on, and checked with the xulrunner dev's on IRC, proves correct. -- Jaunty icedtea6-plugin doesn’t work in Firefox 3.5 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/359407 You received this bug notification because you are a member of OpenJDK, which is subscribed to openjdk-6 in ubuntu.
