    First, confirm for us you have a correctly installed JRE by doing the
    following command:

    $java -version
    java version "1.4.2"
    Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2-b28)
    Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2-b28, mixed mode)

    Next, there was a change in compiler affecting these browsers and their
    plugins. You can see this difference illustrated below even between
    Firebird 0.6 and 0.61 releases. Something similar happened between
    Netscape 7.0 and 7.1, and also the Mozillas. Try linking as in my
    example for Firebird 0.61 if you have not tried this already.

    (firebird 0.6):
    ln -s /usr/java/j2re1.4.2/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so
    javaplugin_oji.so

    (firebird 0.61):
    ln -s /usr/java/j2re1.4.2/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so
    javaplugin_oji.so
