The Java plugin does not seem to work with the binary Firefox 3.0-rc1 ebuild; Firefox claims the plugin needs to be installed. However www-client/mozilla-firefox-3.0_rc1-r1 (the non-binary Firefox 3.0-rc1 ebuild) does work with the Java plugin. Reproducible: Always Marking as a minor bug since this is masked "beta" software, and it works if you use the non-binary build or use the non-masked Firefox 2.x builds. But I felt it should be noted some place so it doesn't get overlooked or forgotten about.
Marking as NEEDINFO because you omitted your `emerge --info'. :)

Oh, and Java's: dev-java/sun-jre-bin-1.6.0.06 USE="X alsa nsplugin -odbc"
Still happens with 3.0_rc2.
Java: suggestions?
*** Bug 227823 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Okay, nothing to do with java, is due to where does firefox looks for the plugins, i'm fixing this.
Okay, should be fixed in -r1.
Confirmed. mozilla-firefox-bin now supports java for me. Thanks!
