I'm using an AMD64-compiled version of Firefox, and blackdown-jdk-1.4.2.01 doesn't work properly. I've double checked the plugin symlinks, and they're correct. When I go to any site with a java applet, it sits there with a grey box for a minute or so, and then it just puts the little java coffee-cup icon in the grey box and never runs anything. Firefox's "about:plugins" shows the following info for the plugin: Java(TM) Plug-in Blackdown-1.4.2-01 File name: libjavaplugin_oji.so Blackdown Java-Linux Java(TM) Plug-in 1.4.2 MIME Type Description

which firefox version do you use, the binary one?
No, it's the regular source ebuild, compiled using the stuff shown in my emerge info.
works fine here, which version of mozilla-firefox is it? (i.e. 1.0.1 etc)
I'm running 1.0.1 at the moment, and I'm currently building 1.0.2 since it's now marked as stable. We'll see if it makes a difference.
Well, using my newly built firefox-1.0.2, it works fine. Something must've broken weirdly in my 1.0.1 build, but I guess it's fine now. I'm marking as WFM, if anyone else gets this again we can reopen it.
