I did this and it all worked with SL5, firefox (32 bit), jdk 1.5.0_14 from SL. Shut down firefox. cd .mozilla ; mkdir plugins ; cd plugins ln -s /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_14/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so . Start up firefox. about:plugins shows that the java plugin is installed. Go to http://java.sun.com/products/javawebstart/demos.html Click on Launch for the "Draw" example. When firefox asks what to do the the jnlp file, choose Other. Browse to choose /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_14/bin/javaws Java starts on the jnlp, and the "Draw" example starts. cheers Katherine
