I have a native firefox and jdk build, but this file was not in this folder. I copied it from /usr/local/jdk1.4.2/jre/plugin/i386/ns610/ and firefox detected it. However, when I opened a test applet, firefox crashed. Are there any other changes to be done to let firefox know the location of the jre? 'java.default_java_location_others' is set to /usr/local/jdk1.5.0/jre/lib/i386 I have not upgraded firefox, still running 1.0.7. Would this be a problem?

Simplest solution: use Konqueror. Rather than requiring the Java plugin, all you have to do is tell Konquerer where your local install of Java resides, and it will use this when needed. Such a simple approach. I don't know why all browsers don't work this way. Perhaps. Kind of gotten used to the gtk and gnome look though !
