FireFox 5.0 - problem with IcedTea

English Applications
#1

Hello,

I use openSUSE 11.4 64 bits, KDE and FireFox 5.0.
I regularly update.
When trying to reach my bank, I get the following error :

icedteanp plugin error: Failed to run /usr/lib64/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk/jre/bin/java.  For more detail rerun "firefox -g" in a terminal window.

Is there anything I can do to remediate ?

Does IcedTea everything that Java does ?

Thanks for your answer,

W

Hi,

you probably want to install the sun java.

Have a look at :
