From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020826 Description of problem: Either you start the by default included Mozilla as normal user or as root, you won't be able to install the plugins (Java, etc..) with the automatic Software-installer... When you normally browse to a website that uses Java and you don't have Java installed, Mozilla will pop up a message which gives you the offer to install Java... But not in this default version of Mozilla... I had to install an extra version of Mozilla manually so I was able to install the Java-plugin that way.. And a newbie User won't even know how to do this... This problem has been there ever since i tried RedHat and still isn't fixed Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Start Mozilla 2.Go to a URL which uses Java 3. Actual Results: Nothing, the Website just didn't appear Expected Results: The software-installer should've popped up and offer me to install the Java-plugin Additional info:
Yeah, sorry, that functionality isn't there.
Hey wait. This can't be... You can't be seriously talking about a "desktop oriented distribution" and then install a default browser which isn't capable of installing plugins??!! Is it such a big problem to integrate this standard functionality??
It's not that I don't care (I do!) it's just that this doesn't work right now. Once it gets fixed upstream, I will be more than happy to include it.
