Date: Sun, 15 Feb 2004 09:08:13 -0800 Sender: linux-newbie-owner@vger.kernel.org Message-ID: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Return-path: List-Id: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format="flowed" To: linux-newbie@vger.kernel.org I have posted my problem here recently and many people have tried to help me. Thanks! But the problem remains. I have a theory I would appreciate your opinion on. I can not get my Mozilla 1.6 to recognize the Java Plugin X-JAVA-VM. It auto installs from the Netscape Plugin page and says it successful. I can see it on my machine, but I can't seem to put it where Mozilla wants it. For some reason (Newbie issue probably) I have Mozilla in a directory called /mozilla and a .mozilla directory. When I look at the Bookmarks file, I see that the date in the .mozilla directory is the most recent. So, I'm assuming that I'm using the Mozilla in the .mozilla directory. Is that normal? Or, have I messed up the install of Mozilla and that's why the plugins won't work properly? Would I be smart to take Mozilla off my machine (saving my Inbox, Bookmarks, etc.) and then reinstall? The reason I ask, is that my nephew helped me set this up last December and he was surprised that Mozilla installed to the Root. My Mozilla functions fine in all other regards, but I just can't add plugins. With the about:plugins in command, I do see that two plugins are installed; application/x-shockwave-flash Shockwave Flash swf Yes application/futuresplash FutureSplash Player spl Yes Any ideas?
