Firefox/Java on openSuse

Jun 1st, 2008

I have upgraded to Firefox 2.0.0.14 on openSuse 10.3 and then downloaded Java 6u6 and installed that, created a symbolic link to java plugin for firefox but whenever I try to load a Java applet it will not show anything, not even the jigsaw piece saying Java is not installed.

Looking at about:plugins it shows java as installed and active.

I tried going back to the previous version of Firefox (2.0.0.6) and the previous version of Java (cant remember the version) and firefox just crashes.

Any ideas?
