This problem has beaten me, perhaps You can help ![](/static/smilies/wink.gif)
I have a pc with ubuntu 6.06 on that came with firefox 1.5. I then obtained and installed firefox 2 without using the synaptic package manager. I then proceeded to download Java 1.6.0, also using apt-get from the console. I now have Java 1.6.0 installed after doing 'update-alternatives --config java', and 'java -version' shows 1.6.0 correctly.
I then made a symlink to the plugin from the firefox 2's plugin dir with 'ln -s /.../java-6-sun/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so ./libjavaplugin_oji.so'. This is where I'm at now. The problem is that Java works only on *some* sites, not all. The Java games at nintendo8.com work for example, but a scratch-some-boxes-and-try-again game on another site fails to work. Firefox gives the usual message that I don't have the appropriate addon installed. The latter game worked fine first-time with another machine where I installed ubuntu 7.04 and Java 1.6.0 using Synaptic.
How do I get Java to work on FF2 properly on the ubuntu 6.06 installation? Does it make any difference that the application that fails to load opens in a popup window?
Thank you verry mucchy![](/static/smilies/tilt.gif)
