Hi all I am trying to get my java applets running in firefox. The only mistake I made in the begining was that I was creating the link in /usr/lib/firefox/plugin directory. Googling,showed that the link should be in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugin. I removed the old one and created a new one with the follwoing command: ln -s /usr/java/jre1.5.0_02/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so ./ Restarted my browser. If I access any page with java applet I get the sun revolving around the word "Java" but the progress bar never seems to progress and eventually my firefox gets stuck and I have to kill it. I have installed java using the rpm :jre-1_5_0_02-linux-i586.rpm Never had such a hard time installing java plugin:). Waiting for any help.
