Change the plugin firefox uses for java, from libjavaplugin_oji.so to libnpjp2.so.
Done.

For a system wide change:

Code: Select all

# rm /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so # ln -s /usr/lib/java/jre/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/

Adblock Plus Bug Fixed: No more Java Applets Crashes

Adblock plus was causing a very annoying crash whenever you run ANY website with a Java applet embedded!

Starting from the V1.0.1, this bug is finally fixed and for those who removed the adblock plus plugin from Firefox or the Java plugin for Firefox can now get both back safely, Hakuna Matata :-)

4 Firefox Add-ons that I cannot live without

1. DownloadThemAll: A very nice download manager with resume and massive download support.
2. Adblock plus: Ad blocker that makes pages load much faster by filtering ads from any websites you visit, you can also add more entries to its list of blocked items. Enjoy Surfing without ads!
3. Mouse Gestures Redox: Do everything using the mouse! Go back, go forward, open a new tab, close a tab, move between tabs, zoom in and out & a lot more!
4. Foxmarks: Sync your bookmarks and even your passwords across different browsers, you will no more lose your bookmarks!

All of the above plugins are free! Enjoy!
