I have just upgraded to Firefox 1.5. I use Centos (Red Hat Enterprise). All went fine until I installed java. With the java plugin installed, every time I try to open Firefox, it immediately closes. If I remove the plugin, it opens and runs fine, just without java. I really need the java. Any thoughts? Thanks, HLR

Java and Mozilla/Firefox always had problems. You need to soft link the CORRECT so file

Say you have two different versions with your JRE:

$yourpath/jre1.5.0_02/plugin/i386/ns7-gcc29/libjavaplugin_oji.so
$yourpath/jre1.5.0_02/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so

I always get it wrong. It is ALWAYS the other one :-(

How the heck should/would I know how NS7 was compiled for my system...

Cheers,

Malte
