January 14, 200818 yr I'm running Kubuntu Linux Hardy Heron, version 8.04. On Firefox, version 2.0.0.10, after I did a big system upgrade (which is probably irreversible, unfortunately), I got a bug I'd had before, but don't remember how I got rid of: If Java 5 plugin files AND Java 6 plugin files are installed to Firefox, then neither version works. The problem is that if I uninstall version 6, then version 5 causes the problem anyway, because for some reason, it includes every version of the JRE from version 1.1 to 1.5_blah, or something like that. If I uninstall version 5, then version 5 stays on my computer, locked inside version 6 somewhere. My about:plugins page is as follows (right now,I have only version 6 installed, supposedly): Shockwave Flash File name: libflashplayer.so Shockwave Flash 9.0 r48 MIME Type Description Suffixes Enabled application/x-shockwave-flash Shockwave Flash swf Yes application/futuresplash FutureSplash Player spl Yes Java Plug-in 1.6.0_03-b05 File name: libjavaplugin_oji.so Java Plug-in 1.6.0_03 MIME Type Description Suffixes Enabled application/x-java-vm Java Yes application/x-java-applet Java Yes application/x-java-applet;version=1.1 Java Yes application/x-java-applet;version=1.1.1 Java Yes application/x-java-applet;version=1.1.2 Java Yes application/x-java-applet;version=1.1.3 Java Yes application/x-java-applet;version=1.2 Java Yes application/x-java-applet;version=1.2.1 Java Yes application/x-java-applet;version=1.2.2 Java Yes application/x-java-applet;version=1.3 Java Yes application/x-java-applet;version=1.3.1 Java Yes application/x-java-applet;version=1.4 Java Yes application/x-java-applet;version=1.4.1 Java Yes application/x-java-applet;version=1.4.2 Java Yes application/x-java-applet;version=1.5 Java Yes application/x-java-applet;version=1.6 Java Yes application/x-java-applet;jpi-version=1.6.0_03 Java Yes application/x-java-bean Java Yes .... There's more to that giant Java table, but it's all the same as the first half: just replace "applet" with "bean". Also, the "Suffixes" column is blank. The Yes is under enabled, and the Java is under Description. Anybody know what's wrong? Thanks. Proud member of the Tal Shiar AllianceGoals: Quest cape, skill range 10 or less, all stats above 60.

If you agree with me, do NOT put this in your signature.
January 15, 200818 yr I can't tell you exactly what the issue is, but it could be that you're using a beta release of this OS. Perhaps a complete removal/reinstallation of all java packages is in order.
