Hi Everyone, Let me clarify ... Starting from JDK 6u10 Java has two different plugins - old, single VM plugin and new multi-vm one. Starting from FF3.6 api for old plugin had been removed from FireFox. So the only way to make javaplugin working with FF3.6 - update ports to 6u10+ (e.g. 6u18) As temp workaround you can use javaws, if applet doesn't use JavaScript it should work as webstart app with no changes. -Dmitry On 2010-03-17 21:57, Jason Garrett wrote: > On Fri, Mar 12, 2010 at 09:15, Programmer In Training > <pit@joseph-a-nagy-jr.us> wrote: >> I don't know if I should also cc the maintainer for FF3.6, but I'm >> posting here.
