Enable and Configure
Firefox or Mozilla
To configure the Java Plugin follow these steps:
- Exit Firefox browser if it is already running.
- Uninstall any previous installations of Java Plugin.
Only one Java Plugin can be used at a time. When you want to use a
different plugin, or version of a plugin, remove the symbolic links to
any other versions and create a fresh symbolic link to the new one.
- Create a symbolic link to the
libnpjp2.so file in the browser plugins directory
- Go to the plugins sub-directory under the Firefox installation directory
cd <Firefox installation directory>/plugins
- Create the symbolic link
ln -s <Java installation directory>/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so
Note: If you are upgrading your Java version then
before creating new symbolic link you should remove old symbolic link to
enable latest downloaded Java.
To remove old symbolic link:
type cd <Firefox installation directory>/plugins
rm libjavaplugin_oji.so
Example
- If Firefox is installed at this directory:
/usr/lib/<Firefox installation directory>
- And if the Java is installed at this directory:
/usr/java/<Java installation directory>
- Then type in the terminal window to go to the browser plug-in directory:
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins#
- Enter the following command to create a symbolic link to the Java Plug-in for the Mozilla browser.
ln -s /home/Pretorians/Documents/Installer/jre1.7.0_25/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so
- Start the Firefox browser, or restart it if it is already up.
In Firefox, type about:plugins in the Location bar to confirm
that the Java Plugin is loaded. You can also click the Tools menu to
confirm that Java Console is there.
