Java plugin for Firefox 15.0

[szycsi]

Hi,

I downloaded firefox-15.0.tar.bz2 (32 bit) for linux and installed it.
I have a 32 bit jre1.6.0_02 and its plugin for FF at:
/usr/java/jre1.6.0_02/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
In my earlier FF3.5 version I simply created a symlink :
ln -s /usr/java/jre1.6.0_02/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/local/firefox/plugins/
but in Firefox 15.0 I don't have the plugins/ dir by default under /usr/local/firefox/. So I created it manually and made a symlink there:
/usr/local/firefox/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so -> /usr/java/jre1.6.0_02/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
but this is not enough, FF15 does not see the java plugin.
I've tried also to make symlink manually in my user's home like:
<user_home>/.mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so -> /usr/java/jre1.6.0_02/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so

Please advise me how to set up the java plugin.
(I would like to keep this Java and FF version)

Thanks !

I generally install Java outside of repos by downloading directly from Oracle.
The plugin that I always use is found here:
jre<version>/lib/i386/libnpjp.so

Soft link that file in the plugins directory, and you should be good.

Yes, if I download the latest Oracle jre1.6.0_35 and use the libnpjp.so that works fine, but generally I'm courious if FF 15.0should work with an older jre where libjavaplugin_oji.so is the java plugin.
Thanks anyway !
