proposed fix
Added to CVS, tagged as firefox-3_0_1-3_el4 *** Bug 455233 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** This issue is also present in Fedora 9, both for firefox-3.0 and firefox-3.0.1. A quick user workaround is (this also demonstrates the directory it expects): # cd /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.1 # ln -s ../mozilla/plugins . and restart firefox if it were running. The rpm spec file (for 3.0.1) is also affected (minor issue, the plugins directory removal should be removed): %preun # is it a final removal? if [ $1 -eq 0 ]; then %{__rm} -rf %{mozappdir}/components %{__rm} -rf %{mozappdir}/extensions %{__rm} -rf %{mozappdir}/plugins fi Should there be a different bugzilla for this issue on el5? I find that if with the el5 shipped firefox (firefox-3.0.1-1.el5) one can simply make a symlink from the mozappdir to ../xulrunner-1.9/plugins and then it picks up all the default expected plugins from that place as well as those which are found in ../mozilla/plugins While you are going about it could you look at adding the symlink from defaults/autoconfig into the ...xulrunner-1.9/defaults/autoconfig location too to allow auto-config files to work. See #455794, #447535 Just making those two symlinks seems to be sufficient to get things working for us with firefox-3.0.1-1.el5 (well obviously we have to drop in our auto-config files etc but...) -- Jon java plugin does not work in firefox-3.0.4.el4.x86-64 during errata testing. http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4802695 This bug is from sun Description Built Java Plug-in in 64-bit and support 64-bit VM on Windows/Linux/Solaris on AMD64. xxxxx@xxxxx 2004-05-26 We will support Java Plugin/Java webstart on AMD64 arch on both Window and Linux platform. Posted Date : 2008-10-13 19:32:26.0 It's already fixed in firefox-3.0.10-1.el4. |
