For those who’ve upgraded to Firefox 3.6 (Namoroka) in Linux and could not seem to find Java support, you can do the following to fix it up:
- Verify that sun-java6-plugin is installed:
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin - Once verified/installed, look for libnpjp2.so:
locate libnpjp2.so- You may have to do an updatedb first:
sudo updatedb - Mine returns /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.15/jre/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so
- Take note of this path.
- You may have to do an updatedb first:
- Then, navigate to your mozilla plugins path:
cd /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins - Move somewhere else or completely delete libjavaplugin.so
- Make a symbolic link of the libnpjp2.so you find earlier to the current folder:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.15/jre/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so .Take note of the dot at the end. - Restart Firefox
- Test it over at the Java website

From now on, I’ll try posting Firefox related posts every Friday. 
This was an idea brought up at the Mozilla Philippines Community 2010 Kick-off meeting.
