Description of problem:any webpage visited w/ FireFox 2.0.0.10.x86_64 not only doesn't render anything that java should be rendering, it sends me to Sun to get & install the java plugin Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):2.0.0.10 How reproducible:try it for yourself, 64-bit FC8 & Firefox 2.0.0.10, straight from yum repo's .... Steps to Reproduce:go to following URL: http://radar.weather.gov/radar.php?rid=htx&product=N0R&overlay=11111111&loop=yes 1. you should get nothing except message about you need more plugins to view this content. 2. 3. Actual results:no picture of radar loop, just message about needing more plugins .... Expected results:picture of radar loop for HSV, Al. .... Additional info:I have box-stock java installed, as well as JRE.1.6.3 from Sun. I have a total of 4 different versions of java installed (1.4.2, 1.5.n, 1.7.icedtea), 3 from repos by yum, 1 from sun. None (apparently) work .... browser says it is looking in /usr/java for its java code, that's where the JRE.1.6.3 is installed, along w/ NS7 i386 plugin lib.so file w/ correct name (that browser is looking for) ....
Well .... it's working now :-/. I have done some cleanups/upgrades in the last couple of weeks & the above URL works AOK for me now. I uninstalled a bunch of 32-bit (i386) stuff, & I think some java got thrown out in the process. I have nothing but 64-bit Java (x86_64) now, had some of both before. Anywho, I guess you can close this one out, call it pilot error ....
Thanks for letting us know.
