I've been trying to get Java to work correctly on iceweasel (I'm using
squeeze and amd64). I managed to get the sun-java6-plugin downloaded and
installed. Currently, I see /usr/lib/iceweasel/plugins/libjavaplugin.so,
which is a link to /etc/alternatives/iceweasel-javaplugin.so . my
~/.mozilla/plugins directory does not contain any Java-related libraries or
links. When I check Iceweasel's add-ons GUI, I see Java Plug-in 1.6.0_20,
and when I do about:plugins I see Java Plug-in 1.6.0_20. In my preferences,
Java is enabled. However: when I navigate to the Java test webpage (
http://java.com/en/download/installed.jsp) and push the big red "verify java
version" button, it errors out after about 2 minutes.

Is there some other configuration work which needs to be done to make
Iceweasel fully Java-functional?

Thanks in advance,
-PT

I get the same results here, and accessing a site that requires the
plugin doesn't work. The page appears but the applet doesn't start for
reasons unknown.

A bug in the plug-in maybe??

"Managed" implies difficulty, which shouldn't be.

Might you have at one time installed a private Java, either into
/usr/local or $HOME?

Or plug-in conflicts?

Works perfectly for me in Sid on amd64 with sun-java6-plugin
6.20-dlj-4 and iceweasel 3.6.4~build2-1 (from experimental).

I run firefox 3.6 on a squeeze/amd64 system with jre1.6.0_16 from sun.
The java plugin is taken from the jre: libnpjp2.so.
