    Java plugin for firefox on Fedora 15

    I have 64bit Firefox installed without any java plugins. Ive been trying to install the plugin, but each tutorial ive followed makes firefox crash when I try to load an applet.

    I have JDK 7 installed on my computer. Java works fine outside of firefox. Is is possible to install the plugin separately from the jvm/jdk?

    I tried the instructions these instructions but it didnt help.

    I forgot to note I installed Sun java. Is there a plugin for that?

    mjmwired.net guides (there's a link if you click that yellow setup guides link) tells how to install java (sun java) and get it working in firefox.

    I followed the instructions for Java 7 on that page and got it working. The problem was libjavaplugin.so was using the wrong java. That page gave the wrong code to set libjavaplugin.so.

    They gave
    alternatives --config libjavaplugin.so
    which did not find any plugin.

    alternatives --config libjavaplugin.so.x86_64
    worked and let me select Java 7

    Thanks
