I reinstaled gutsy from beggining and all is working by default. I
cannot remember what package I used that time, almost sure sun-java6

I can confirm the bug for Ubuntu 8.10 clean install, with firefox 3.0.
In Firefox 2 you can choose between 4 different java things.
In Firefox 3 you must do a manual installation, but the link with more details just drops you on the java website.

yes, some packages do not yet have the files linked to the proper
place.

I did some more debugging and found that it is not working for the e-trade realtime quote streamer probably because of a problem with Iced Tea itself - this is the error log;

Hardy, Firefox 3 beta 3.
Example: Facebook Touchgraph Browser gives java.lang.

I confirm this works after changing the environment variable in address 'about:config' of Firefox3, from 'javaplugin_oji', to 'libjavaplugin_

Amedee, the error your getting sounds like a different error than everyone else's. (It seems your java is working, just throwing errors because the applets.) Try this page to test it out http://
Also, did you install from the repositories, or did you install java manually (from the sun java website)?

The Java test page works. It's just the applets that don't work. Like the
touchgraph browser, my bank software,...

Which Java should I install?
I will uninstall every Java if you tell me which Java I must install.

After applying those fixes on Java 5, the applets work most of the time.
Sometimes the don't, sometimes they hang Firefox with 100% CPU consumption.

Amedee, it would probably be best to use the java in the repositories, because that's what the bug reporter is using, and that's what the commands are trying to fix. Also, it helps with bug testing for the hardy java package.

I am using FF 3 beta 4 on a fully up-to-date Ubuntu Hardy install. Java 6 did not work (installed through the browser or through synaptic).
$ sudo sed -i 's/XINERAMA/
$ cd /usr/lib/
$ sudo ln -s /etc/alternativ
fixed my problem. Thanks!
Can we update the bug name to something more appropriate - it seems to affect more than Kubuntu.

i concur. this was also the case in gutsy with firefox 2.
on a default install, i added the java6 mozilla plugin, but it was not listed in about:plugins under firefox 3 beta.
i had to create a symbolic link in ~/.mozilla/plugins for it to work. this would be very frustrating for newbies as all the gui windows indicated that the plugin was installed correctly, however firefox never picked it up from the /etc/alternatives/ directory or the symbolic link under /usr/mozilla/

The first time you visit a java site, firefox asks for the plugin.
After installing the plugin, firefox does not ask for it, but still nothing is happening.
After making the symlink as well, it works..

In Hardy, this issue with Sun Java is with *all* available browsers. Not only Firefox 3, but also Firefox 2, Konqueror, Opera, Epiphany.
So it's not a Firefox thing.

i was going to try to create that symlink, but i have no firefox-
i noticed in fx trunk that there is this option in about:config:
java.java_
its a string. by default it is set to: javaplugin_oji
perhaps this is why it isn't recognized by fx trunk?? (i tried changing it to various things such gcjwebplugin but nothing worked, but maybe i didn't try the right name).
after updating the database & a search with "mlocate javaplugin" showed:
/etc/alternativ
/usr/lib/
/usr/lib/

i actually test & use fx trunk as my default browser, so i don't use fx 2.0. also, i forgot to mention that the plugin does not show up in konqueror's about:plugins either. i even added more directories to where it searches for plugins.
i've never used update-alternatives before. i read its commands & options but i'm not sure how you want me to use it. like this:
sudo update-alternatives --set /usr/lib/

@ John Vivirito
ok, i tried that and go this output:
No alternatives for /usr/lib/
then i realized that the "alternative" must be a file in the /etc/alternatives dir. (which makes sense. ;) give me a break, i've never used update-alternatives before).
so i only found one java plugin in there, so then i tried:
sudo update-alternatives --set xulrunner-
and got:
update-
(which i'm sure means i don't have that file (javaplugin_oji.so) on my system. an mlocate search didn't reveal one either).
so then i noticed that i had copied gcjwebplugin.so file to /usr/lib/
but for some reason it still isn't showing up in konqueror's about:plugins. is there something that hasn't been implemented yet that makes it incompatible with konqueror?

I am using firefox beta 4 and ubuntu gutsy 7.1 my applet works already. If you are seeking to get your java up on firefox
if you cannot find firefox-
ls -l | grep firefox
to get all the files that are related to firefox
probably one of them is the firefox javaplugin link
just swap my given firefox-
hopefully this helped

I have found a perhaps better solution, at least for 32-bit-Ubuntu.
The thing is, that Sun Java JRE is no longer in ubuntu-
These are the steps I followed:
1. I installed ubuntu-
2. Afterwards, simply installing Sun Java JRE and plugin is not enough. First you have to completely remove OpenJDK and the Icedtea plugin in Synaptic. Only then you should install Sun Java JRE and plugin.
Then everything works fine again (at least on my computers).
It's a pity that Sun Java JRE has been replaced in ubuntu-

That is not an acceptable solution. It should either work correctly out of
the box, or not be installed at all. The current situation causes
confusion.
I suggest removing OpenJDK and the Icedtea plugin from Ubuntu until all
bugs are solved. The next version of ubuntu ships in two weeks, this bug
just cannot be shipped to millions of users.

That means it was 11 days ago that I visited the Ubuntu site.
Anyway it just proves my point: this bug needs URGENT fixing. Or shit wil

@pbhj:
Blackdown java is outdated, less functional and probably unsafe (unpatched).
Why don't you choose Sun Java 6 JRE and plugin? Fully safe, up to date and functional. Simply follow this instruction for Ubuntu 8.04:

Alfas, the only java plugin available for 64-bit systems is icedtea-
The only option currently available, as far as I know, is to run a hybrid 32bit system. I haven't done that myself, but the 64-bit users forum at ubuntuforums.org would be a good place to start.
