  1. Just a heads up on Firefox 3.6 and Java. The old java plugin libjavaplugin_oji.so won't work anymore for Firefox 3.6 and up. It is still OK for Seamonkey 1.18 and Seamonkey 2.0. Also Firefox 3.5 and Iceweasel 3.5. Only Firefox 3.6 is affected.

    My post below at

    explains what I did to fix it in Puppy 4 Dingo. I just got through fixing this in Macpup Foxy also. In Foxy all I had to do was open 2 rox file managers. In one of em. I manuvered to /usr/java/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so. In the 2nd file manager go to/usr/lib/firefox/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so

    Delete the libjavaplugin_oji.so from the /usr/lib/firefox/plugins folder.
    Then drag and drop libnpjp2.so from /usr/java/lib/i386 folder into /usr/lib/firefox/plugins folder and symlink it. Close everything. Go Test your Java. You will get a message that you don't have the latest and greatest. But the plugin is installed. This works for java jre6u10 on up. If any typos. I am still half blind yet. And I am posting on my little Asus with my big fingers. Happy Trails, Rok.
