Firefox and JRE

A bit of a newbie to openSUSE here. So, I have everything pretty much figured out on my laptop. At least everything I use. The only thing that isn’t working yet is the java-1_6_0-openjdk and Firefox. Pages that use JRE still don’t work. I know I have it installed because of YaST but how do I make the links so that Firefox can actually use it?

Where is the Firefox directories to make the links? A step-by-step walk-through would be great. Also, just point me to another thread if I am bringing up something that has already been posted…

Thanks.

You might try removing openjdk and installing real java. You can do that in Yast-Software Management

The Quick Java Switch and Fix

Don’t I have to link? If so, how do I do that?

It should just work
Are you saying it doesn’t?

Yast creates (or should create) the links for You. You probably have them already but they most likely link to the openjdk **** version (from my experience) of java. As the guys say install the proper one from sun or oracle or whatever its called nowadays.

Yeah, it definitely doesn’t work. I have the real Java from Sun installed too.

If you do

rpm -qa | grep java

You should see something like:

java-ca-certificates-1-5.3.noarch
java-1_6_0-sun-1.6.0.u22-1.2.1.x86_64
java-1_6_0-sun-plugin-1.6.0.u22-1.2.1.x86_64
timezone-java-2010l-0.3.1.noarch

It might be worth you reading this

This was all I needed. Thanks. Problem resolved.

Excellent - Thanks
