Only one Java Plugin can be used at a time. When you want to use adifferent plugin, or version of a plugin, remove the symbolic links toany other versions and create a fresh symbolic link to the new one. - Create a symbolic link to the libnpjp2.so file in the browser plugins directory
- Go to the plugins sub-directory under the Firefox installation directory
cd /plugins - Create the symbolic link
ln -s /lib/i386/libnpjp2.so
Note: If you are upgrading your Java version thenbefore creating new symbolic link you should remove old symbolic link to enable latest downloaded Java.
To remove old symbolic link:
type cd /plugins
rm libjavaplugin_oji.so
Example- If Firefox is installed at this directory:
/usr/lib/ - And if the Java is installed at this directory:
/usr/java/ - Then type in the terminal window to go to the browser plug-in directory:
/usr/lib//plugin - Enter the following command to create a symbolic link to the Java Plug-in for the Mozilla browser.
ln -s /usr/java//lib/i386/libnpjp2.so
- Go to the plugins sub-directory under the Firefox installation directory
- Start the Firefox browser, or restart it if it is already up.
