JRE 1.5 plugin for Firefox on Linux works as root but not as an other user

I am trying to usel the JRE plugin for Firefox on Fedora Core 4. I downloaded and installed it as "root" and created the symbolic link so Firefox can "see" it. It now works just fine if I run Firefox as "root", but if I run it as any other user, it thinks that the plugin is not installed.
I checked to make sure that the path to the symbolic link is accessible by anyone (all directories in the path are x to "other" and the link and the .so file are both rx for "other").
What else do I need to do so non-root users can use this plugin?

remove $HOME/.mozilla/plugins and $HOME/.java and try again

  • Firefox is displaying improper dates and times while using Google calendar, however they display correctly in Internet Explorer. Firefox has always worked right before, but not now.

  • How do I enable Corel Clipbook in Firefox 26, it works in IE8 but not FF26?

    I am trying to get the Corel/Woodperfect utility CLIPBOOK (Version 16.0.0.427) to work in FF26. The utility is like windows clipboard but handles multiple entries and functions with most windows programs. It permits cut and paste between programs like the clipboard. Shortcut keys are assigned for use with the CLIPBOOK program (e.g. ctrl + c, ctrl + x, ctrl + v) which can be customized for each application CLIPBOOK is applied to. To avoid conflicts with clipboard I used other combinations (alt + ctrl + c,alt + ctrl + x, alt +ctrl + v) via "settings" in CLIPBOOK and specifically applied them to FF26 which now lists in the CLIPBOOK settings dialog box as an application to which CLIPBOOK is applied. However, when the shortcut keys are executed in FF26 nothing happens yet the same shortcut keys work in IE8. What is the solution??

    Thanks Prince3333. I have already seen this material and its associated thread. While OK for beginners, it does not address assigning Clipbook to an application which is done in the "Settings" of Clipbook. Even though FF26 is selected, entered, and subsequently displayed in Clipbook "settings" as an application to which Clipbook is presently applied, it does not work in FF26. IE allows Clipbook to work even without specifically applying Clipbook to IE and without it being listed in the applied to applications.

  • Hyperlinks for Nigel's page work in iWeb but not in Safari. Why?

    In iWeb, the hyperlinks for my NIGEL page all work. They work to and from the main U.B.R.O.L. page. They work to and from the other few people in the U.B.R.O.L. group.
    However, these very same hyperlinks for Nigel do NOT work.
    What should I do? I am careful with clearing cache.
    Lorna in Southern California

    Well, happily, I figured this one out all by myself. The hyperlinks were not working because I had placed them in the Navbar. I had placed them in the Navbar because I had opted to not have those three pages in the Navbar and also I opted to not even show the Navbar on those three pages.
    Well, I discovered by many trials and errors that putting hyperlinked boxes in the Navbar, even when nothing else is there, is a bad idea worth losing.
    When I lowered the hyperlinks into the regular text field, the hyperlinks worked both on my desktop and in Safari.
    Of course, that left me with a bare Navbar to contend with so I decided to put the Navbar back in, but without showing those three pages for Nigel, Helen, or Vali.

  • Flash plugin for Firefox: 2, 3 speed audio?

    Hi all,
    I am having problem with audio using the flash plugin for Firefox.  The video
    is OK but the audio seems to be played at double or triple speed, which sounds
    funy.
    Here is the address:
    http://news.com.com/1606-2_3-6052333.ht … &subj=news
    Anybody else had this problem before?

    its playing in the background right now and sounds fine.  Motion is a little jerky but acceptable.
    using the 2.6.16 kernel from testing firefox from current over a DSL line.
    Is the rtc module loaded?  Otherwise at a loss (as usual)
    BTW, that VW system is the last thing I need in my truck.  Would rather have a cup holder that works and a first gear that does not lose sync.

  • I need jre 7u5 plugin for firefox for my final project

    Hello!
    I'm IT student and for my security class I require to find an exploit, exploit a system, and then learn how this exploit works.
    I picked JRE 7u5 exploit.
    I downloaded that version of java from oracle archives but the problem is that I require a browser plugin.
    I tried to search for plugin on Google for more than few hours but I can't find anything useful...
    I though I could post this question here since there was this version of java released on plugin page once.
    My question is, could you please release JRE 7u5 plugin for Firefox please? Or do you know where I could find it? I really hoped I could use this exploit but the difficulty lays with finding the right plugin.
    Please give me a feedback how I could get JRE plugin for Firefox or any other browser!
    I will be using Windows XP SP 2 VM.
    Thank you in advance!

    Hi,
    You're going to find that there's only a very small group of people that want to install a program with a known exploit, and the developers aren't going to be keen on allowing ongoing access to faulty code.
    Best bet would be to look for the source code. On the [http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html Oracle website] there's the source for JDK 6; have a look around there. You may have to drop back a version to get access.

  • [SOLVED] Can't Find IcedTea7 Java Plugin for Firefox

    Hello everybody,
    I'm new to Arch (have used Linux for some time but never got too deep into configurations and such). I've always just used proprietary versions of Java in the past, even on Linux, but now that I have a really cutomized Arch box, I'd like to try and support OpenJDK+IcedTea.
    I followed the Wiki instructions by installing jre7-openjdk, jdk7-openjdk, and icedtea-web-java7 packages. All I want is to link to the plugin for firefox. However, I don't actually see the .so plugin file anywhere, nor do I know how to see where pacman installs things.
    I have a folder /usr/share/icedtea-web/ that contains the files about.jar, about.jnlp, netx.jar, and plugin.jar.
    I remember .jar files are Java archives, but I actually have no idea what to do with them or how to use them as I'm not too familiar with Java (but I do run browser applets using the plugin).
    I apologize for my noobness in this, but can anybody help me figure out how to find or acquire or extract the .so plugin file for firefox?
    Thanks,
    Dave

    Great, thank you so much! Actually, it was already fixed before I read your reply, but it's still informative (I wasn't sure how to find file lists for pacman packages).
    I just removed and reinstalled all the java packages and it worked. I might have done it in the wrong order or something when I did it the first time. I wasn't sure if the web test on the Java website checked for the Oracle plugin specifically or just a valid JRE implementation, but it worked, so I guess OpenJDK is working great so far.

  • Installing Adobe Flash Player 10.0.42 Plugin for Firefox 3.5.7

    I currently have Firefox 3.5.7 installed and am trying to access a site that requires the current version of Adobe Flash Player (10.0.42). When I download and install it, the website still doesn't recognize flash player being installed.
    I go to Adobe.com, make sure I am downloading the one for WinXP/Firefox and install it, then it says that it is successfully installed. However, when I try to access the site, and it says that the current version of flash player is not installed, with a link to the adobe site to download the latest version (which I already did).
    I have tried uninstalling the flash player, from both Windows and Adobe's uninstaller, and reinstalling with no success. I have even tried uninstalling/reinstalling Firefox, still nothing. For fun, I tried updating IE, and it works fine, but I REALLY don't like IE.
    Another note: when I uninstall Flash Player, it doesn't remove it from my machine (add/remove program list), even when Windows asks, "Adobe ... is already uninstalled, would you like to remove it from the list?" Additionally, when I go to Adobe's Flash Player version tester site, it reports that IE is running version 10.0.42, but when I access it with FF, it shows a link to download the latest Adobe FP.

  • I have Adobe Flash Player Plugin for Firefox, but I'm still missing Flash Player?

    So I have installed the latest version of Adobe Flash Player Plugin for Firefox, and I'm able to watch youtube videos on my browser and other things that require flash player, but I have a disc that i got along with my Samsung monitor, and when I put it in my computer, it says that I do not infact have flash player. Also, when I try playing a game, DawnGate, theres a black box where a video should be, and it says that i do not have flash player, and it is required to watch these videos. I tried uninstalling, and I was unable to watch youtube, and when i reinstalled, I was able to watch youtube again, but that did not fix my problem. Is there something I'm missing? I look forward to hearing from someone soon.

    Odds are it's looking for the IE plugin: (A lot of software just assumes ALL Windows users are "slaves to Microsoft" and only have IE installed.)
    Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    or the standalone Player:

  • Java plugin for firefox

    Hi All !
    I hope this is the right forum. I have installed java plugin for firefox
    I try the website javatester.org and I get a message saying:
    Your security settings have blocked an untrusted application from running.
    If I understand this correct this is not a firefox message but a java message
    so...
    I have used the java control panel and added the site to the site list
    I also lowered the security settings to medium
    Restarted the browser and tried again but no luck, what am I missing ?
    Appreciate your feedback !
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Did you activate the JDK java for your browser in the java plugin config.

  • New Plugin for Firefox- Maps Blank

    I just went to maps.ovi.com and got offered a new plugin for Firefox. It seemed to install OK and now the website - which used to take about 5 mins to startup for me - starts up in seconds. Almost as fast as Google maps!
    SNAG - the map area is blank. I can't see any maps!
    Is it just me?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Malicious software had switched my Internet Options to use a proxy server. Firefox showed the Maps website and navigation perfectly but the map did not download. Simply disabling the "Use a proxy server" in "Connections" fixed it. Since I do not use Internet Explorer I had not noticed this!

  • I can't install the Flash plugin for Firefox

    I can't install the Flash plugin for Firefox (Firefox version 1.5.0). I've tried to install the latest version 9.0.16.0 from the Adobe Download Centre. There are no error messages or warnings during the installation.
    The Flash plugin for IE is working fine.
    I've tried everything, uninstall the pre-installed version (7), re-install FireFox, uninstall all plugins, download and install everything over and over..... still the same problem.

    Hi Stephan,
    Thans for your reaction and suggestion.
    I've cleaned up the register, deleted all the macromedia and flash keys.
    Restarted, installed Flash plugin again, IE is working fine (again) but Firefox (and Opera!) only showing the message "Flash plugin needed" when I try to display a site with Flash content.
    I have the same combination working on several desktops, does it have anything to do with te pre-installed software from Toshiba?
    I have two Toshiba Sattelite's P100 with both exactly the same problems! Flash on IE working, Opera an Firefox NOT.

  • Plugin Container for Firefox has stopped working ~ DivX Web Player plugin crashed

    Hi Everyone,
    Probably I should begin by saying anything computer-related is like walking blindfold in a pitch dark room. Seriously "tech-impaired" here (i'd go to someone who knows but tight budgets are a pain too... so if anyone here could help fix this I'd be forever thankful.
    The first part of the title line is what appears to me in a little message window. YouTube and Hulu work OK, but there's this site "Icefilms (dot) info" -the one that I mostly use- that's the one with the problem.
    It was all working just fine until last Monday night (June 20/2011) and it's not just with Firefox that I have this problem, cause when i tried to use Google Chrome it was the same thing, which makes me think it's not an Internet browser problem, I tried changing Firefox (5) to an older version, but instead of just the video widow, the whole thing crashes.

    Google Earth Plugin
    GEPlugin Outdated Version Update
    Plugin Icon
    RealPlayer Version Plugin
    6.0.12.69 Outdated Version
    Still saying I need updates but when I update it says I have current versions already.
    Also still keep getting plugin container for firefox has stopped working. But I'm not see a problem with anything.

  • How do I suppress "plugin container for firefox has stopped working" ?

    I am doing some Flash programming and using Firefox to debug. Every time I end the debug session from Flash Builder I get the error "Plugin container for firefox has stopped working". Is there a way to suppress this false error message? There is not a problem with the container or any plugins, simply that Firefox thinks the container has crashed because it is being closed by the IDE. I have already had to change several options to suppress false error alerts, but just seem to get new ones like this.

    Firefox uses the plugin-container process to run plugin out of the current Firefox process (Out-Of-Process-Plugins) and you may not see the plugin mentioned. Flash uses protected mode by default and that causes two plugin-container processes to be active.
    *http://blogs.adobe.com/asset/2012/06/inside-flash-player-protected-mode-for-firefox.html
    You can check for problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions and try this:
    *check for updates for your graphics drive drivers<br>https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration
    *disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
    *disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin
