JRE / JDK Security Thread
Semme: Not entirely sure why you moved this; my 'issue' isn't really security-related.

As far as I can tell, I have all of the necessary symlinks (TheAsterisk!'s package actually appears to create them for ALL possible Mozilla browsers, including the Ice series), and I even briefly changed the Java console to show, rather than hide (as the Java website advises). Same results as above.
(Edit: Okay, that's weird. I just checked http://www.java.com/en/download/install ... detect=jre again, after posting this, and NOW, it's working. )
See my post in the original thread here. (I posted while you were moving the discussion, apparently.)Semme wrote:Does the symlink exist- yes or no? Maybe check Shinobars`instructions..
That page still doesn't work for me, but this page does:Semme wrote:This with the Asterisk!s`jre-1.7u13-i586.sfs loaded. NO problem..

I'm surprised it only decided to start working because I posted about it.

The mystery of why Java plugin sometimes works in Seamonkey and sometimes doesn't https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=754622
Seamonkey just marks the plugin as invalid then you are stuffed.
Doubtless it will work for some (as it did for me with 13) but not for others.
In Firefox 19 the exact same plugin works and is marked
Common on Linux,. Importance P5 Major but nobody seems to be able to fix the damn thing and they have been at it for months. Works fine on Firefox with latest Java 7 Update 15 but now will not work for me under Seamonkey again. When it did last week. Yes plugin is in the right place but it is marked as "Invalid" in pluginreg.dat. The suggested workarounds in the Seamonkey open bug report (including disabling the blocklist) don't help in my case either.Bug 754622 -
