I copied it from /usr/local/jdk1.4.2/jre/plugin/i386/ns610/ and firefox detected it. However, when I opened a test applet, firefox crashed. Are there any other changes to be done to let firefox know the location of the jre? 'java.default_java_location_others' is set to /usr/local/jdk1.5.0/jre/lib/i386 I have not upgraded firefox, still running 1.0.7. Would this be a problem? Regards Gautham
