Java plugin for Firefox and JSE 6.0 on Linux

[Wes Harrison]

I have installed the Mustang b88 JDK but cannot get the plugin to work with
Firefox under Linux (FC5). Firefox knows the plugin is installed because
aboutlugins displays all the relevant information but applets simply
display as a empty white squares. There are no error messages.

Has anyone got this to work? Is there a trick I am missing?

Thanks,

Wes

Are you on a 64-bit machine? I had similar problems. The solution was
to install a 32-bit Java, use that as default, and explicitly invoke the
64-bit version if I wanted it (i.e. told Eclipse to use that one instead).

Thanks for the reply. I am on a 64-bit machine but I am running a 32-bit
kernel and already have the 32-bit JDK installed so it must be some other
reason. Any ideas?
