I don't use Mozilla for email, just browsing. This is my strategy too. I
can run /usr/bin/mozilla(1.0) or /usr/local/bin/mozilla(1.3) just fine.
_but_ I cannot get the java plugin to work.
I'm running Sun's Java package and Mozilla 1.3 talkback from Mozilla.org.
I've symlinked
/usr/local/mozilla/plugin/libjavaplugin_oji.so ->
/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.1_02/jre/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so
The info at plugindoc.mozdev.org says these should work together (both
compiled with gcc-2.95xxx).
When I compile a trivial applet (straight from Bruce Eckel's Thinking In
Java) that works fine with Appletviewer, Mozilla gives me an error
saying that the plugin for "application/x-java-applet;version=1.4.1"
needs to be installed, Mozilla's about:plugins window lists it and shows
it as being Enabled. (And yes, Edit>Advanced>Enable Java is checked.)
Any advice appreciated.
