[plug] Mozilla Issues

[Kirk Turner]

I've had some issues with Mozilla - mainly with sites using ASP...

But as to the java problem, I can my plugin all the time - and do it 
manually... the best bet
is to download the latest java jre from java.sun.com and install it 
somewhere then in the under the
mozilla/plugins directory create a sym link to the 
$JAVA_HOME/jre/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so

ie
cd <mozillabase dir>/plugins
ln -s $JAVA_HOME/jre/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so 
libjavaplugin_oji.so

then restart mozilla and you should be fine - although from memory I've 
had problems with anything older than jre 1.3.0

just as an example I would do on my machine (SuSE 7.3, Mozilla V1.0rc1):
cd /usr/local/mozilla/plugins
ln -s /usr/local/java/jre/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so 
libjavaplugin_oji.so


Hopefully there aren't problems with laterversions
