hi, seems you still have java-vm for user set to old version. rm -ir ~/.gentoo/java-config-2/current-user-vm and run eselect java-vm for this user or just use the system-vm
(In reply to Georgy Yakovlev from comment #1) > hi, seems you still have java-vm for user set to old version. > > rm -ir ~/.gentoo/java-config-2/current-user-vm > > and run > > eselect java-vm for this user or just use the system-vm Thank you. It starts. But earlier, with # eselect java-vm list Available Java Virtual Machines: [1] icedtea-bin-8 system-vm [2] oracle-jdk-bin-1.8 and user-vm setting to oracle-jdk-bin-1.8 system-vm unexpectedly overrides user-vm and firefox started icedtea applet.
