If you want to use FF 3.5 on Fedora 10 you have to install openjdk/openjdk-plugin from fedora 11 to get the plugin working. I think something goes wrong here because other plugins (mplayer, flash...) working with every firefox-build http://rpms.famillecollet.com/fedora/10/remi/x86_64/ With openjdk from F10 firefox crashes while starting plugin With openjdk from F11 it works fine [root@srv-rhsoft:/downloads]$ rpm -qa | grep openjdk java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin-1.6.0.0-23.b16.fc11.x86_64 java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-23.b16.fc11.x86_64 java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-23.b16.fc11.i586 [root@srv-rhsoft:/downloads]$ rpm -qa | grep firefox firefox-3.5-0.27.rc3.fc10.remi.x86_64 [root@srv-rhsoft:/downloads]$ uname -a Linux srv-rhsoft.rhsoft.net 2.6.29.5-84.fc10.x86_64
This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 10. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '10'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 10's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 10 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Too late for me to address this issue now. Sorry about that :/ Is F11 working for you now?
Hi, in the meantime i switched back to fedora-firefox because i switched my systems to x86_64, so the packages from mozilla.org are obsolete
Ah, so you were using upstream firefox? That may not work with the plugin because of upstream API changes introduced in latest gecko versions. A new Java plugin is in the works (it will be in Fedora 13) that uses the generic NP plugin API, and that should work across all versions of firefox >= 3.5.

This was the point i did not understand why all other lpugins (flash, gecko-mediaplayer..) are running on every version and the jdk not Sometimes it's nice to have the newest firefox without making a dist-upgrade :-) Thank you and redhat for your really great work!
Fedora 10 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-12-17. Fedora 10 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
